Our Story
9Muses Henna was born from a desire to make art more accessible. Originally a way to support our founders painting sales, the practice evolved during the pandemic into something far more impactful—an affordable, joyful, and communal art form that brought people together in a time of isolation.
Henna became a unifier. It created space for connection, conversation, and healing when traditional art events weren’t possible. In community settings, 9Muses Henna continues to offer an approachable entry point into creativity—where people from all walks of life can engage with art in a personal and meaningful way. It's not about diversity as a checkbox, but about meeting people where they are, and offering a cultural experience that sparks joy, reflection, and shared humanity.
