Painting parties started taking off a few years ago, and there’s no end in sight for the paint party! There’s something that people love about creating their own art pieces on a blank canvas. And it’s even better when you have a talented artist as your teacher! But what if you’d rather stay in the comfort of your own house for the art painting tutorial? Host a painting party at home.
A painting party is a fabulous way to celebrate a variety of events, from anniversaries to bridal showers to housewarming parties. All you need for the private party is the space and water to clean up. And maybe some snacks and wine for girls night! The painting party companies will bring everything else for your private event, including aprons, canvases, acrylic paint colors, and paintbrushes.
Looking for sip and paint ideas? Look no further. Whether your groups are beginners or experts at canvas painting, the teacher will tailor the finished art piece around your needs.
Girls’ Night In
Grab your closest gal pals for a unique way to celebrate with a “paint and sip” night! Hosting a private party for a baby shower? Send the mom-to-be home with some adorable acrylic paint decor for her new nursery. Know a bride who prefers a low-key bachelorette party? Set up a cozy private event for some wine, gossip, and a paint palette. Need fresh ideas for your women’s group? A painting party at home is a great option for any get-together! Peggy M. from Houston, TX planned the perfect event using Groovy Gal Painting Party:
“I am in a Red Hat group and we were challenged this year to find different activities and to increase our membership. I sought an activity to host at my home since January can be crazy with all of the post-holiday lulls and tight wallets. Groovy Gal came up with a couple of economical options and was extremely flexible when I changed the event by one day to accommodate a larger crowd of guests. This was a great event and it was incredibly relaxing.”
Little Picasso Night
So you’ve had birthday parties at the bowling alley, the skating rink, and the local pizza joint. Running out of ideas? Throw a painting party at home for your little Picasso! Most people think of painting parties as something only for adults, but they’re great fun for little ones too. Most painting party companies can modify their paintings to fit the age group for your birthday party. They can also give you a variety of paintings to choose from based on your birthday party theme, color scheme, or difficulty level. Help your kiddos tap into their inner artist and create something they can be proud of!

Some even offer different things to paint besides canvases, such as giant letters, cutouts, picture frames, pallets, and more.
