  • Our kits are thoughtfully designed with adults in mind, offering a more detailed and elevated painting experience. However, younger artists ages 12 and up can typically complete the design with patience and supervision, making it a great option for creative teens as well.

  • To allow time for the creation of each custom canvas, reservations close one week prior to the event date (8/5/26). We recommend securing your seat early, as both availability and Early Access pricing are limited.
