Had a wonderful time at the Majnu Bhai painting session. We came out of love for Bollywood with zero painting experience — but the team made us stay and fall in love with art.
Convenient, fun and fulfilling.

A look back at recent sessions — the pieces people painted, and the easy afternoons we spent making them.
Life in the city moves fast. Between work, screens and endless to-do lists, it's easy to forget you're allowed to just… make things. Freely, joyfully, with paint on your fingers.
So we build little pockets of exactly that — a couple of hours in a good space, with good people, making something you'll take home. That's the parallel. We'd love for you to join one.
Mahak — founder 🎨
Art has been my constant since childhood — the quiet thing I always came back to, no matter how busy life got.
By day I've spent over a decade in brand, marketing and communications here in the UAE. But the maker in me never left, and Parallel Activity Hub is where those two worlds finally meet.
I started PAH with one goal: to make art affordable and accessible to all — warm, no-pressure workshops where anyone can slow down, get their hands a little messy, and take some joy home. No skills, no judgement, just a couple of hours that are entirely yours.
