Paint Parties With The Artful Parcel
Gather your favorite people, choose a place, and get ready to create something colorful.
The Artful Parcel brings the painting experience to you with the supplies, guidance, and encouragement your group needs to enjoy a creative day or evening together.
No experience is needed. Crooked lines, unexpected colors, and happy little accidents are all welcome here.
You Bring the People. We’ll Bring the Paint.
Celebrate a birthday, plan a friends’ night, gather your coworkers, or create a reason to get everyone together just because.
Paint parties can be held at a variety of approved locations, including:
- Homes
- Community rooms
- Clubhouses
- Schools
- Local businesses
- Private event spaces
- Other suitable locations
Have another place in mind? Tell us about it when you submit your party request.
$35 Per Painter
A minimum of 10 painters is required to book a private paint party.
Your acrylic paint party includes:
- A guided acrylic painting experience
- The standard painting supplies needed for the selected project
- Step-by-step support throughout the party
- Plenty of encouragement and room to make the painting your own
- A finished painting each guest can take home
You do not have to be “good at art.” You only have to be willing to pick up a brush and have some fun.
Everything your group needs to paint, laugh, and make a memory together.
One project, one guided experience, and one room full of creative energy. Each guest leaves with a finished painting they made with their own hands.
Want Something a Little Different?
If you have a special painting, theme, color palette, or party idea in mind, let’s talk about it.

Examples may include:
- Custom painting designs
- Special themes
- Larger canvases
- Additional products
- Specialty supplies
- Personalized party details
Your idea can be wonderfully weird. We’re in Portland. We can handle it.
Bring us your wildest creative idea.
We love a good theme. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll see what we can make happen — with full transparency on any added costs before you confirm.
Any Group That Could Use More Color
Paint parties are a fun choice for:
- Birthdays
- Friends’ nights
- Family gatherings
- Team celebrations
- Workplace events
- Clubs and community groups
- School groups
- Fundraisers
- Creative date nights
- “We need to get out of the house” nights
Honestly, you do not need a major occasion.
Sometimes painting together is the occasion.
Don’t Have a Group of 10?
Join one of our upcoming Artful Parcel paint events.
We’ll host special painting events at different locations throughout the area. You can reserve your own seat, bring a friend, or come by yourself and meet other creative people.
Each event will have its own featured painting, location, date, time, and ticket information.
New events will be added as they are scheduled.
Come solo. Bring a friend. Meet other creative people.
No group required. Just a seat, a brush, and an evening of color with good company.
Help Put Art Into the Hands of Schoolchildren
Would you like to help give local schoolchildren a chance to paint, create, and experience the joy of making something of their own?
You can sponsor an Artful Parcel painting experience or help provide art kits for students. Sponsorship can be as large or as small as you choose.
Sponsor a Full Paint Party
Cover the cost of a complete painting experience for a classroom or school group.
Sponsor Art Kits
Provide complete painting kits that can be delivered to students for use at school or at home.
Sponsor Part of the Cost
You do not have to cover the entire project. Every contribution can help us provide supplies to more children.
Gather Your Friends
Invite friends, family members, coworkers, or local businesses to contribute together. A group of smaller gifts can create one very colorful day for a classroom.
A Little Paint Can Make a Big Difference
For some children, this may be their first chance to paint on a canvas, explore art supplies, or discover how good it feels to create something that is completely their own.
Your sponsorship can help provide the supplies and experience without placing the cost on the students, teachers, or school. Sponsors may choose to support a complete project or contribute toward a future school painting experience.
Sponsorship availability, school participation, project costs, and delivery details will be confirmed before funds are collected. Sponsorships are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations.
