Painting with a Twist FAQ
What is Painting with a Twist?
Painting With A Twist is the “art” in pARTy studio for anyone interested in painting and/or partying! It's a one-of-a-kind experience where you and your friends have a blast at a 2- 3 hour event listening to music, sipping wine, and learning how to paint with step-by-step instructions from a talented artist. They'll walk you through your painting step by step, layer by layer while you create your masterpiece and a memorable experience.
No experience is needed - our classes are fun art, not fine art! Our paintings are created with the amateur in mind and most of our guests have no painting experience. Expect to have a ton of fun and surprise yourself at just how well your painting turns out.
Fully Stocked bar- the only one in the state!
The St. Louis, MO - Brentwood Boulevard location offers a fully stocked bar and a bartender on staff to make your favorite beverages. We have a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. No outside Alcohol or beverages of any kind are permitted into our studio.
Food
Light snacks & finger foods are allowed. Anything easy to eat while you paint! You will be required to provide your guests with disposable flatware, plates and napkins and dispose of them at the end of your event.
Directions
We are located on The Boulevard-St. Louis, across from the Galleria Shopping Mall on Brentwood BLVD. Our direct neighbors are Maggiano’s Little Italy, Series Six, Loft, and Las Chupacabras Mexican Restaurant.
We recommend using Google Maps. Please call us if you are having difficulty finding us at (314) 727-7928.
Parking
There is free parking in a garage attached to our building, or in the south outer lot.
Suggested Attire
We use acrylic paint that will dry quickly. The good news- you can take your painting home the same day. The bad news- acrylic paint can and usually does stain or damage clothing. Please dress accordingly.
We do have aprons that cover most of your front side. Accidents do happen though and we don’t want you to damage your clothes, purse, shoes, etc. We are not responsible for any damages.
Seating
We use seating charts for all PUBLIC events. If you will be joining other friends for the event and forgot to identify who you would like to sit with, please let us know right away. Many of our parties SELL OUT and it is next to impossible to change seating without this crucial information. If you have any special requests or needs please let us know, we will do all we can to accommodate. We are unable to guarantee location requests such as "sit in front near instructor".
Age Policy
"All Ages": All ages welcome; children under 7 MUST be accompanied by an adult. No alcohol consumption permitted.
"15+" : Those aged 15+ welcome. Those under age of 15 will not be allowed to paint or stay. Bar open for adults 21+.
"18+": Those aged 18+ welcome. Those under age of 18 will not be allowed to paint or stay. Bar open for adults 21+.
Cancellation Policy
We do not offer refunds unless a class is cancelled by us. A store credit will be given for individuals cancelling with at least 24 hours’ notice. "No shows" will not be issued store credit. (Please email us at studio269@paintingwithatwist.com to make sure we are able to note your request).
Late Arrivals & Time Restrictions
Anyone who arrives more than 20 minutes late to an event may not be allowed to paint and payment will be forfeited.
Please understand that we are limited to the time scheduled for your event. Weekend classes are designed to allow us one hour to clean up and reset the room after each class.
If you are unable to finish your painting within the allotted time, or would like to make some changes, we have a “S.O.S.” class available by appointment. It is a free opportunity to come in and fix or finish your painting that you've done at our location with an artist to assist you.

Your reservation fee includes everything you need to create a beautiful and unique painting!

Drinks from the bar are sold separately.

We do need to adhere to our schedules here On The Blvd and our artists do all they can to keep you on track, but if you are unable to finish your painting, please note that we have SOS classes (see above).
