🚀 Hosting a Corporate Painting Party: Everything You Need to Know
So, your team wants to do something creative and fun. You’ve done the escape rooms, the trust falls, the pizza Fridays. But what about something a bit more artistic, that brings people together and lets them walk away with something they’re proud of?
Enter: the Corporate Art Party, aka the Sip & Paint, the Painting Party, or even the Corporate Art Event.
As someone who leads these kinds of events for companies across Toronto, I can tell you with all certainty, they’re always a hit. Whether it’s a staff appreciation day, holiday gathering, or just an excuse to break out of the office mindset, painting parties are an incredible way to build connection, boost morale, and give your team a creative reset.
Here’s everything you need to know before booking one.
What is a Corporate Painting Party, Really?
It’s more than just brushes and paint. A great painting party is designed to help your team:
😌 Relax and have fun
✍🏽Try something new without pressure
🎨 Collaborate in a playful, low-stakes setting
No experience is required. I guide participants step-by-step and encourage them to make the piece their own. There’s room for laughter, music, and plenty of “happy accidents.”
What Happens During the Event?
Every session is tailored to your company’s needs, but here’s a general flow:
I bring all the painting materials you’ll need: canvases, paints, easels, etc. We kick things off with a quick warm-up. Then, I guide the group through a tropical-themed painting, step-by-step; no experience needed. Everyone gets to personalize their piece, snap pics, and just enjoy the vibe.
At the end, each person has their own finished artwork to take home or display proudly in the office.
🌺 Note: I do not set up or rearrange the space itself, so please have tables and chairs arranged beforehand. I’ll handle the art side, including cleanup of painting materials, water, and rags.
What Do You Need to Provide?
Not much! Most companies host these on-site or at a local event space.
You’ll need:
Tables + chairs 🪑
Access to water (for rinsing brushes) 💧
Enough space for your group to spread out a bit 💃🏽
I bring everything else, yes, even table coverings and music if needed!
Why Teams Love These Events
Painting brings out different sides of people. The quiet ones open up. The overthinkers loosen up. People bond in a totally different way than they would over drinks or forced games.
And the best part? Everyone leaves with something tangible. It’s a memory and a masterpiece.
