Painting with a Twist FAQ

COVID-19 Practices

• Painting with a Twist is a “fun” art studio for anyone interested in painting! We use acrylic paints and teach the class, step-by-step, through a specific painting. Most of our guests have no painting experience but all of them have fun and great success!

• We have an online Event Calendar that posts both Public and Private Events. We are constantly updating our calendars so check back with us regularly.
• Classes marked “Private” are events where groups have reserved our studio in advance and are closed to the public.  You can set up your own "Private" event here.
• All classes not marked "Private" are Open to Public
• You can come to a public class alone, with one friend, or with as many friends as you can round up. Please choose one person from your group and have everyone list that person in the “Seating & Special Requests” section when they register. We will do our best to seat your group all together.
• SUMMARY: View the calendar of classes, find a painting you like, register online, and arrive for class up to 30 minutes prior to class time and prepare for a relaxing and fun art party! 

• The classes that are marked *Family Friendly* allow “watchers" . . . but for all other paintings we require that everyone needs a paid reservation to stay on premises during our classes. 

• Groups of all sizes can join a public session – let us know so we can set you all together.
• If you prefer to have a private party – please see our Party Info.

• FOOD YES! Feel free to bring in your favorite snacks to enjoy during class! Remember you are painting most of the time, so finger foods are best!  Please remember to bring plates, utensils, and serving ware with you.
• OUTSIDE DRINKS ARE NOT ALLOWED! We are NOT a BYOB and do not allow outside beverages or drinking containers. We serve wine, beer, & non-alcoholic drinks.  You must be 21 and have a valid id!

• There is plenty of parking in front of our studio and it is well lit after dark.

• Your reservation fee includes everything you need to create a beautiful and unique painting! You will be supplied with an apron, easel, canvas, brushes, paints, napkins and step-by-step art instruction. When class is done, your artwork is ready to take home and hang! The only thing you may want to bring are snacks. 

• We love our young artists and have specific classes designated just for them. Please see each class description for age requirements. Only those meeting the age requirement will be allowed to participate in that class! 

• Start on our Party Info page.  The basic information is all located there.  To start the process, you will need to fill out the Request Party form.  Be sure to add any information you think we will need to help you plan this event.  We can accommodate daytime events as well as off-site events and look forward to discussing ways we can bring a unique experience your team will remember! 

• Unfortunately, we do not go into private residences. Paint tends to go everywhere, and we don't want to ruin anyone's decor with the permanent paint. If you change your mind and want to paint in the studio, we have the perfect place for your private party! Our studio is designed to give you the best painting experience.

• We have universal Gift Cards that can be purchased in person at any Painting with a Twist studio and we also have gift Certificates that can be purchased online. They are emailed in PDF format directly to you and are valid for any new reservations. Gift cards may not be used for our “Painting with a Purpose” or other fundraising events. Our Gift Cards do not expire.

• Classes may be cancelled if a weather emergency is declared or we determine the roads to be too unsafe to travel on. In the rare case of a class cancelling due to poor weather, a studio credit will be issued to all registered guests. Please see our website for updates in a case of questionable weather.

• Arrive up to 30 min early to get uncorked, smocked & in your seat - it's your Happy Half Hour! Guests arriving 15 minutes (or more) late may not be allowed to paint and forfeit the registration fee. Be considerate of your classmates… arrive on time!
