How It Works

How To Book

Private events are booked by placing a refundable deposit to secure your desired date & time (after the studio confirms availability).

Deposits

Deposits are refunded the first business day after the event, if the minimum headcount was met. If the minimum headcount wasn't met, empty seats up to the minimum are deducted from the deposit. The remainder of the deposit will then be refunded, as applicable. You may use your deposit on the day of the event to make any purchase you like, from seats to sangria! We can also refund your deposit after 12 guests have prepaid.

A host may also elect to apply the deposit, partially or in full, to other party charges or individual seats.

A private party may be canceled with deposit refunded, or rescheduled with full deposit applied, with at least 10 business days' notice (Monday-Friday) before the originally scheduled event date. Please contact our studio for cancellation confirmation.

What's Included

We want your event to be fun, organized and effortless. We provide you with all the supplies needed for a party, including our helpful artist(s) to host and guide your guests through the event. We include the venue, music cultivated for a great time. There is a bar onsite where you may purchase wine, beer and specialty cocktails.

Private Party Room

In-studio parties will have an entire room to themselves, with plenty of space for all guests. Our Private Studio seats 24 as well. We'll schedule an event any time we don't have something already on the schedule. Don't have enough people for a private event? Join a public class instead!

Art Supplies

Canvases, brushes, paints, palettes, aprons and anything else needed to finish a masterpiece. We also have a designated area to keep purses and coats.

Professional Instruction

Our instructors are professional artists themselves, and they are well-trained in making the painting process simple and enjoyable for painters of all skill levels. They will also keep the energy up and the painters engaged. They are as much artists as entertainers. Everyone gets step-by-step instructions at a comfortable pace.

Ice, Ice Buckets, Water

Our studio is equipped with ice & ice buckets to make it easier to keep drinks & food at the right temperature. We have a fully stocked bar of reasonably-priced beverages onsite for all your adult-beverage needs. Our menu here includes tax: https://www.pinotspalette.com/toronto/blog/pinot-state-of-mind/bar-menu

Glassware

We provide real glassware for all drinks purchased at our bar. Please be mindful that when bringing any outside food and beverages, you must provide your own plates, cups and utensils.

Music

We'll have an amped-up crowd-pleasing playlist ready for you. Or, you can tell us what sort of music you'd like for your event and we'll tailor a playlist to your needs. And don't worry – we make sure the music doesn't get in the way of hearing the artist's instructions.

Food And Drinks

When it comes to food, you are welcome to bring whatever food that you would like, whether it’s homemade, potluck, or catered in!

Event Details

Adult parties include 30 minutes of studio time both before & after your painting at no additional charge. You may use this time to give guests time to arrive, settle in and socialize, or use it for the planner to set up food or decorations. There are a minimum of 12 painters at $45 per painter. Have 12 or fewer painters? You can pay a flat rate of $540 and up to 12 people can paint!

Painting Selection

You can select from thousands of original paintings! We'll send you the online library, and just let us know what you'd like to paint. You'll be able to showcase your selected masterpiece to your guests through our online Party Planner system, send them the details and track their RSVPs! It's out-of-the-box party planning at its finest!

You don't have to choose a painting in order to book an event, but the final selection must be confirmed with the studio at least two weeks before your event date.

Our painting library is huge! You can sort by category, popularity and style. If you need assistance choosing the right painting for your group, just get in touch with us. We've hosted quite a few events and can help you narrow it down.
