How It Works

How To Book

Private events are booked by placing a nonefundable deposit to secure your desired date and time (after availability is confirmed by the studio).

Deposits

Deposits are refunded at the end of the event if the minimum headcount was met. If the minimum headcount wasn't met, empty seats up to the minimum are deducted from the deposit. The remainder of the deposit will then be refunded, as applicable. You may use your deposit on the day of the event to make any purchase you like, from seats to suds!

A host may also elect to apply the deposit, partially or in full, to other party charges or individual seats.

A private party may be rescheduled with full deposit applied, with at least 10 business days' notice (Monday-Friday) before the originally scheduled event date. After that, rescheduling is at the full discretion of the studio.

We include the venue, music cultivated for a great time, plain paper plates, napkins and utensils and complimentary bottled dispenser water. There is a bar onsite where you may purchase wine, beer and specialty cocktails.

In-studio parties will have an entire room to themselves, with plenty of space for all guests. You're welcome to bring food & decorations (balloons are not allowed). Don't have enough people for a private event? Join a public class instead!

Art Supplies

Professional Instruction

Our instructors are professional artists themselves, and they are well-trained in making the painting process simple and enjoyable for painters of all skill levels. They will also keep the energy up and the painters engaged. They are as much artists as entertainers. Everyone gets step-by-step instructions at a comfortable pace.

Food And Drinks

When it comes to food, you are welcome to bring whatever food that you would like, whether it’s homemade, potluck, or catered in! We even have some preferred local caterers (some right here in Stamford) that can provide food for your event. We have plain paper plates, napkins and utensils here on site if you’d like to use those.

Event Details

Adult parties include 30 minutes of studio time both before & after your painting, at no additional charge. You may use this time to give guests time to arrive, settle in and socialize, or use it for the planner to set up food/decorations.

Painting Selection

You can select from thousands of original paintings! We'll send you the online library, and just let us know what you'd like to paint. You'll be able to showcase your selected masterpiece to your guests through our online Party Planner system, send them the details and track their RSVPs! It's out-of-the-box party planning at its finest!

One of our artists can create a completely unique, customized painting for your event. Whether it's a meaningful place, a favorite color, flower, or animal - if you can dream it, they can create it! An additional $150 fee applies for custom artwork.
