What is Painting with a Twist?

Painting with a Twist is all about fun art, not fine art. No artistic experience is needed—just bring your creativity and good vibes! We offer two exciting ways to create:

Instructor-Led Events: Follow step-by-step instructions from our fabulous artist in a fun, social environment. Most of our guests have never painted before and leave with a masterpiece.
