Q&A with the Owner and Artist

What is one of your signature services? How is it performed?

[During our painting events], we offer a comedic approach to our easy, step-by-step painting instruction and keep the paint party alive by offering a great variety of upbeat music and professional artist instruction. We donate a portion of every ticket sale to a local charity.

Describe a time your services really changed a client's life for the better.

We have helped raise thousands of dollars by offering fundraising opportunities to our customers. We have traveled outside of our comfort zone to throw a paint-and-sip party for a customer battling cancer who could not travel far for one of our events. We have worked on numerous occasions with our clients to make their experience pleasurable and memorable.

What aspect of the services you offer most often surprises people?

[That] the artist was funny and not dry or humorless. Customers are surprised by how well their paintings came out, even if they never painted on canvas before. [They're also often surprised by] how much money they raised for their fundraiser.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?

We are different from all paint-and-sip parties because we donate a portion of every ticket we sell to a local charity.
