Who should come to The Art of Life events?
Everybody! No really, we have seen so many people who start out skeptical and unsure at the beginning of the event leave satisfied with their painting experience. You don't have to worry! Our staff is there to walk you step by step through the painting and answer questions too.
*quick side note: Dudes like to paint too! That’s right! Painting parties ....not just for the ladies anymore. In addition to being a great date night activity, it is also great for groups of friends of all genders.
(all genders, identities, partnerships and persons welcomed)
