Memorable Family or Date‑Night Private Painting Sessions

Relaxed. Joyful. Connected.

Ideal for family celebrations, anniversaries, date nights, or family bonding

—anyone wanting a creative shared experience.

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend time together as a family, celebrate a special occasion (such as an anniversary, Mother’s or Father’s Day), or enjoy a unique date night? Our Private Art Sessions are a joyful, screen-free way to connect through creativity—and walk away with a meaningful keepsake to remember it by.

Whether you’re celebrating something special, looking for a family bonding experience, or just carving out intentional time together, we’ll guide you through a playful, customized painting experience that everyone will love—no experience necessary!

What to Expect:

Each private session is a one-of-a-kind mixed-media painting experience tailored to your group and occasion.

  • We’ll chat with you beforehand to learn about your family or group and talk through your expectations and preferences.

  • A skilled teaching artist from our instructor team will guide you step-by-step through a layered process using a variety of materials like acrylic paint, stencils, oil pastels, collage, and more.

  • The final masterpiece can be collaborative (one large canvas for the whole group) or individual (everyone makes their own!).

Expect lots of color, laughter, and proud “look what we made!” moments.

Who It's For:

  • Families of all ages (yes, even toddlers!)
  • Couples looking for a creative date night
  • Birthday or anniversary celebrations
  • Parent-child or sibling bonding time
  • Grandparent & grandchild date days
  • Family holiday outing

The Details

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Private sessions available: select Friday, Saturday or Sunday time slots

  • Length: 1 hour (standard) or 1.5 hours (more time = more layering!)

  • Group size: Up to 6 participants

  • Ages: 18m – 100+ (we tailor the experience based on who’s coming!)

  • Cost:  1 hour workshop is $350, or a 1.5 hour workshop is $395, + the cost of the painting surface you choose (at our wholesale cost, or you’re welcome to provide!).   Together, we’ll come up with the perfect solution to fit your budget!

PROCESS

Our favorite medium is layered mixed media, a process in which you build up layers of oil pastel, chalk pastel, different types of paints and textures.  Before your session, we’ll chat about your color and size preferences so we can curate a custom palette and materials.

Or just leave it all to us—we’ve got plenty of ideas!

DEPOSIT / CANCELLATIONS

A non-refundable deposit of $150 is due at the time of booking. We are happy to accommodate schedule changes at least two weeks prior to your event date.  The deposit is non-refundable for schedule changes or cancellations made with less than two weeks notice.  The balance due, + the cost of the painting surface, is due at the end of the event.

OUR ROLE + PHOTOS

We take photos during your special painting experience and send you a private Google Photo album that is yours to cherish. During the session, we’ll be your creative “cruise directors” —gently guiding and facilitating your creative flow every step of the way – we can stand back or be as involved as you’d like!  Paintings may stay in the studio to dry but must be picked up within 10 days.
