Private Events

Looking for some team bonding or planning a social event? We can help!

We offer a fun and unique experience that will leave your team full of smiles and and inspiration! There is absolutely no painting experience or any artistic abilities required to complete the painting as that is what we are here for! Our favourite kind are those with 'no artistic talent' or who 'can't or don't paint' as it's all about the experience and FUN!

How it works:

PICK A TIME & DATE FOR EVENT: check our online monthly calendar for availability
HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS? 2 hours with a half-time break (we need an hour before/after each event to setup & cleanup)
HOW MANY CAN WE SEAT? 40 max (minimum fees apply, view pricing below for details)
FOOD: we can provide it (additional cost applies) or your group can self-cater (more info below)
DRINKS: we have an in-studio bar with a range of alcoholic & non-alcoholic options for purchase (no BYO allowed, more info below)

Includes:

exciting and creative event in Christchurch (1st -and BEST- in NZ!)
step by step painting instructions of the featured painting led by one of our artists
all materials to complete the painting – acrylic paint on canvas, etc
party photos taken throughout the session and posted on our Facebook page
heaps of fun exploring your artsy side
each person takes home his/her one-of-kind artwork (unless it's mural)
best of all, we clean up!

What to paint (3 options below):

ONE FEATURED PAINTING: choose a 2 hour painting from our monthly calendar or click this link
DIFFERENT PAINTINGS: not everyone has to paint the same thing, but we will need a list (from our example paintings) prior to the event if different paintings are wanted
MOSAIC MURAL: each person paints part of an overall image that all comes together as one very large painting - additional fee applies based on image & painters as we have to pre-sketch the image on the canvas for the mural to align

Things to know:

Once you have read all of the information on this page and are ready to book your event, get in touch through the form below and we will send through an invoice for the deposit
Once we receive your deposit we will add your event to our calendar
We will contact you a few days before the event to confirm numbers, a featured painting and if your group would like nibbles included for the event
Advise all guests to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled event time, so they can grab a drink, an apron & get settled in before we start painting at the scheduled event time, we will still need to stick to our 2 hour timeframe even if your group arrives late as we may have another event after yours
Plan for your completed paintings to be taken home with you after the session, unless arranged to store at the studio prior to the event
