Paint and Sip Celebrations
& Group Events in NYC

Your people. Your reason. Your paint night. A first date, a big birthday, a new chapter, or a team that deserves a break. Make the occasion yours with a guided painting experience at Painting Hangout.

What are you celebrating?

Start with the occasion. We’ll help you find the right kind of hangout.

A night for two

Date nights & anniversaries

Trade the usual dinner plan for a little color. Paint side by side, laugh through the unexpected brushstrokes, and take home two reminders of your night together.

An Open Class makes an easy plan for two.

Find a date-night class
Worth celebrating

Birthdays & milestones

Make the guest of honor the reason everyone puts their phones down and picks up a brush. Gather your favorite people for a celebration you all get to be part of.

Choose Private Studio for a party with just your group.

Plan a birthday
A new chapter

Graduation celebrations

Big chapters deserve more than a group photo. Celebrate the work, the friendships, and whatever comes next with a shared creative experience.

Celebrate in the studio or bring the activity to your venue.

Plan a graduation gathering
Just because

Friends, reunions & just-because parties

Turn “we should get together” into an actual plan. Catch up over a canvas for a friends’ night, reunion, holiday hangout, or celebration with no special excuse.

Join an Open Class with friends or choose a private gathering.

Your favorite people

Bachelorettes & wedding celebrations

Give your wedding crew time to connect before the big day. A guided painting party adds a relaxed, creative stop to a bachelorette weekend or celebration.

Keep your group together with a Private Studio event.

Corporate team building

Step away from the meeting agenda and make something together. Painting gives coworkers a shared activity and space for conversations that happen naturally.

Host a studio outing or bring a Mobile Event to your workplace.

1. Gather your people

Start with your guest count, occasion, and a few possible dates.

2. Choose your setting

Decide between a shared class, a private studio celebration, or an event at your venue.

3. Explore your options

Visit the matching experience page for details and the booking flow.

Does everyone need to know how to paint?

No. An instructor guides the painting step by step, with materials provided for the session.

What if we’re only a few people?

An Open Class is a great starting point for smaller groups. Private Studio events are designed for 8–36 guests.
