Private Party Details

Make the day all about you - while our talented artist(s) will lead your group step-by-step through your painting. It is so much easier than you think!

You select the artwork (from over 18,000 paintings)
You can choose your Artist
You bring the food and/or drinks (and invite those you are celebrating with you)
You get the room for 30 minutes before the scheduled painting time to celebrate.
We take care of the rest including cleaning up after your party.

No worries if you are new to painting; our studio specializes in helping beginners have a blast creating their own art! We will provide all the art supplies, cups, napkins, paper plates, and corkscrews. A mini-refrigerator and cooler is available along with a table for gifts, food, and drinks.

Party Length
We schedule our private events for 2 hours, and you have access to use the room for 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Most of our artwork requires ~2 hours of instructional time to complete, thus in order to stay on schedule, our artists will start at the scheduled event time. If you need/want more time after the 2 hours, you have options to extend party room use for a small fee.

Private parties require a refundable deposit of $100 to secure the day and time for your event. Deposits will be refunded (to the original form of payment) for events which start/end on time.

Once the private party has been booked and the artwork is selected, the host/hostess will receive a passcode to distribute to guests and/or invite them via email through a custom RSVP website portal.

Paint Your Pet Party - $24 additional fee per painter:
For our experienced painters, you have the opportunity to paint your own pet!

This event option increases the instructional/party time to ~3 hours.

A Twist on Parties:

Open Party - no additional fees; other restrictions apply; no deposit required:
For those who want to pARTy, but hesitate with the minimums above and are willing to open your event up to the general public, an Open Party may be the option you are looking for. You still get to select the artwork, then we invite the public to join you (while you get VIP seating). Open Parties must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance so we can promote the event to drive attendance. A minimum of 7 paid painters must have reservations 48 hours in advance for the event to take place. (this includes you and your friends plus the general public we both work to invite)

Twist at Home Party Kit - prices start at $35 per kit; no deposit required:
Host your own part with a Twist a Home Party Kit. We have hundreds of DIY Twist at Home Kit options available. You can browse and select either one piece of artwork with a video you can play for your entire group to follow along with, or give them each a different artwork selection (with step-by-step instructions) where they can discover their own creativity.

Twist at Home Party Kits have everything you need to complete your "fun" art including instructions to complete your selected artwork, a painting surface, paint, brushes and more! You will pick up your kits from our studio. We can typically have them ready the next business day (check location days/hours of operation). It's a great way to bring the party to your guests at your location.

Service Animal Policy (No Pets)

We welcome ADA recognized service animals in our studio when space is available. Per the ADA, service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

Please call or text 417-755-7760 or email studio239@paintingwithatwist.com for availability. We are happy to walk you through the process to make your party planning a breeze!
