We also have many options for Teens (12 – 18) at $30/person.
Guests may register invididually; hosts will receive a private link + code, and given access to our painting portfolio to select a design for their event. Your reservation holds the room and artist for 2 hours. We book private events 7 days a week in studio, or can travel to a private residence, or public venues.
