Splatter Room: Splatter Room lets artists create "mess-terpieces!" The Good Day feature team spent the morning inside Binders Art Supplies & Frames at Ponce City Market, making a big mess at The Binders Splatter Room!  And yes, The Splatter Room (sponsored by Liquitex) is exactly what you think it is.  With a one-hour reservation for $35, amateur artists can release their pent up creativity by splattering a canvas with as much paint as they want.  Everything is included; Binders provides the paint, brushes, paint guns, canvas, and protective gear.  The only thing the artist needs to bring is the creativity!  The Binders Splatter Room is open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and Noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.  The $35 reservation covers one hour, but an extra 30 minutes can be purchased for $17.50, and an addition canvas is available for $12.  Finished works of art may be picked up at Binders Art Supplies & Frames within seven days.
