Why book a Painting Party?

Benefits of a Private Party:

We are a great place to host a wide variety of parties! No matter if it is a Bachelorette party, Office Team Building, Baby Shower, Family Reunion, Birthday Party, or any other celebration we love them all! We are a unique venue for any event you are looking to host!

• You select your own masterpiece to paint from our in-studio collection of 1300+ paintings. A link will be emailed to you once your party is scheduled so that you can choose your painting! You will be able to choose from 2 hours (starting at $40/person), 3 hours (starting at $50/person), and custom 3 hours including but not limited to paint your pet and open studio (starting at $63/person). Once the painting is selected multiple product options will be available for your guests to choose from at different prices. Spectators/Non-Registered guests will not be allowed.
• New: Twisted Candle Add On for $20!--We are also excited to let you know about an awesome new offering here at Painting with a Twist, DIY Candles! Our candles are made of all-natural soy wax and have a 40-hour burn life. Dozens of scents to choose from. They're fun to make and also make the perfect gifts! 

  This Fun Filled experience typically takes about 15-30 minutes, so that is why you will be arriving 30 minutes before your painting event. When you arrive, you will begin by smelling and choosing your favorite scent or scents!!  With 24 fragrances, we know you will find something you’ll love. Next you will choose your label and mix your oil.  We will be there from start to finish to ensure you leave with a perfect creation. 

  What’s next?

  Once your candle(s) is poured, they take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to set and cool before they are ready to go home with you.  Your painting class just happens to take that amount of time also, so when your class is over, you will be ready to take your candle home with you as well!   

  Each custom candle costs $20.  Reservations are highly recommended as some of our events sell out!   
• 1 1 /2 hour Kid's Birthday Parties for ages 12 and under are $320 for up to 10 painters and $32 for each additional painter on a 16x20 CANVAS with a maximum of 50 total guests/painters. You will be sent a separate selection of paintings to choose from. These events will be given a 2-hour time slot so you can have time for cake and/or presents and a 1 1/2 hour painting event. For these events only, we will allow 2 Non-Painters if desired to help with the event.
• No setup, no cleanup - just show up!! We supply canvas, paint, brushes, apron, and easels.
• The room is yours 30 minutes before class time to decorate.
• You can schedule your party any day of the week (artist and space permitting). We have morning, afternoon, and evening slots available!
• Guests may bring their own snacks and Non-Alcoholic Drinks. If you would like to purchase a drink, feel free to stop by the Hilton Doubletree which is just steps from our door!
