WELCOME TO FUN AND LAUGHTER!!

LOOKS LIKE ART.......FEELS LIKE FUN!!

What is Painting with a Twist?? SO glad you asked!

What's the Twist? ... Whatever you want it to be! Since we specialize in encouraging creativity in sometimes hesitant artists-in-denial, some of our patrons enjoy uncorking a bottle of wine, unscrewing a beer, or downing a carton of chocolate milk -- just to get the juices flowing, so to speak. You bring WHATEVER you'd like to eat and drink to our art parties, and we supply the rest (you know, the art stuff)!

We offer 2 and 3 hour art parties. Check out our calendar by clicking the cleverly named "Calendar" tab, and choose the painting you'd like to come express yourself with! You'll see the date of the painting, the time we've designated to paint the painting, and what the painting looks like.  You can register by clicking the Reserve button under your desired party picture and following online instructions, which will also walk you through the credit card process (we accept all major plastics). If you'd rather not pay until you arrive for the party, simply call us at 337-560-0009 - we'll take a credit card number to hold your spot. Please note we require a 24 hour cancellation notice due to the fact that our awesome and diligent artists prepare materials the day before you're scheduled to make your artistic showing. Reservations are always recommended so we can make sure we have enough assistant help, classes sometimes sell out, and occasionally classes don't meet the minimum number of party-goers so we will switch the painting... if you just "show up" we guarantee you a good time, but the painting may be a surprise!

Here's a run down of some Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: <insert whiny voice> But what if I can't even draw a stick figure? A: You're in luck. None of our 3000+ paintings contain any stick figures!

Q: How much, and what am I paying for? A: 2 hour classes = $35 per painter; 3 hour classes = $45. You will receive all of the materials needed to complete your work of art - including an apron to use in case you want to impress us by wearing an old bridesmaid dress or perhaps your brand new silk and cashmere-infused pantsuit. (Note: please don't) You'll also receive either 2 or 3 hours of step-by-step instruction on completing your masterpiece and a chunk of time devoted to having fun, catching up, gossiping (just talk loud enough for us to hear too), a unique way to spend a date night, etc. 

Q: When do I get to take my painting home? A: We use fast drying acrylic paint, so when you leave our studio at the end of the party you'll walk out with a smile, a new confidence in your art skills, and your completed 16 X 20 inch painting, ready to hang on your wall when you get home.

Q: What if I can't finish my painting in the 2 or 3 hours? A: The first Saturday of every month we host an S.O.S. class - you can bring in any Painting with a Twist painting to tweak and/or finish it...for FREE! Just please register (for FREE) and let us know that you're coming and what painting you're needing more time with!

Q: What kind of food / drinks can I bring? A: Whatever you want!! We've seen it all - fast food, cheese trays, pizza, diet shakes, 20 oz. cans in paper bags, margarita machines, wine coolers, strawberry milk, tuna sandwich from home - Anything goes! We recommend finger foods to keep your nimble fingers ready to paint. We have wine openers and plastic cups.

Can kids come? A: We LOVE teaching children so we host Family Days on most weekends as well as Kids Camps when the kiddos are out of school. We ask that our regular non-Family Day and non-Kids Camp classes be reserved for ages 13-143. For clarification: It's not that we think your child will hang from the ceiling. It's because we want our adult artists to feel completely relaxed and able to talk freely about anything that they'd like to. Adults adore children but most automatically feel pressure to act and speak differently when there are children around, and we're all about being relaxed and letting go. To recap: ages 12 and younger - Family Days, Kids Camps. 13 and older - any class. *Note: Private parties are the exception. The host/ess of a private party has the say-so in whether children are encouraged to participate.
