Why book a Painting Party?
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, bridal shower, baby shower, family reunion, retirement party, holiday gathering, team building event, or just looking for a FUN escape, we've got you covered! We book parties every day of the week, anytime, for kids, adults, teens, and everyone in between. We have 2 rooms in our studio, so you can even book at the same time as another event. Click the "Book Your Party" button to get started, or read below for more information.
HOW IT WORKS:
We've broken down the party planning process into 4 easy steps!
1. BOOK - Click the BOOK YOUR PARTY button/visit our Private Party tab to begin booking your party! This is where we learn a little about you! Our website will seamlessly guide you through the booking process, and if we have your requested date and time available, you will be prompted to pay the $120 booking deposit to officially secure your event! If we do not have your date/time available, your request will still be sent to us and we will reach out within 24 hours to discuss all of your options!
*Booking deposit information:
- The $120 deposit is non-refundable and mandatory to book a private party. Please note that our parties are first-come first-served, and your party is not secure until your deposit has been made.
- The deposit goes toward the balance of your event! If you've booked a 1.5 hr kids event, the deposit covers 4 seats. If you've booked a 2 hr event, the deposit covers 3 seats.
- We'll ask you to choose if you'd like to pay for all guests yourself or for your guests to pay individually, however, the $120 deposit must be made by you as the host in order to book. You can always have your guests pay you back independently if you wish!
2. PICK YOUR PAINTING - Once we've received your booking notification, we will send you the link to our art library for you to choose what the group paints from 1,000's of options! We provide you with a search bar to help you navigate the website and narrow down your choices! Please note that most paintings of people, animals, buildings and cars will be sketched in advance by your artist.
3. INVITE GUESTS - After choosing what your group will paint, we will send you one final link for you to send to all guests as an invitation, where they can RSVP/pay right here on our website! If you've chosen to pay for all guests, we will reach out to you 24 hours prior to the event to collect your remaining balance. If you've chosen for your guests to pay individually, we will require that they have all paid through the website invitation link no later than 24 hours prior to the event so your artist can best prepare.
4. PARTY - We welcome your private party to arrive as early as 30 minutes prior to your painting time and to stay as late as 30 minutes after your painting time to eat, drink, decorate, and celebrate however you do best. We'll take care of all set-up and clean-up so you can focus on having a good time.
During the event, an enthusiastic, experienced artist will begin teaching promptly at your scheduled painting time, guiding your group step-by-step through your chosen painting. At the end of the party, you'll leave with your very own masterpiece and memories to last a lifetime!
EVENT TYPES:
In-Studio events: Get the room all to yourself with the undivided attention of our talented artists,and all the privacy you need to laugh, drink, and have FUN! We require 10 a person minimum / the payment equivalent for Friday, Saturday & Sunday events and a 6 person minimum for weekday events.
Offsite events: Whether you're looking for a fun activity at the office or want to paint from the comfort of your own home, we can bring the party to you! We host offsite events for groups of 20 or more and provide all painting supplies: paint, brushes, canvases, easels, water cups, paper plates, napkins, aprons, and TWO artists to make the event seamless! We require all offsite hosts to provide their own chairs and tables for their guests, however, we can provide a limited number of tables upon request. The artists will arrive 1 hour prior to your scheduled painting time to set up and will clean up all supplies to bring your space back to the state it was in before the party began!
Virtual events: Partying just got easier! We now offer virtual events for groups with a minimum of 15 guests, and can host as many as 100 people at a time! This is perfect for groups who are looking for a way to party, but maybe don't live close enough to get together, don't want to leave the office, or for those just wanting to have a cozy night in! To receive supplies, we offer curbside pick-up from our location at no additional cost, or contactless shipping directly from our vendor for an additional $12/person. An instructor will email the host a Zoom link 1 week prior to the time of the event we'll all tune in to get our pARTying on!
