We’d love to team up with you for a fun, stress-free event!
We’ll ship you everything you need — tablecloths, brushes, paints, and a hand-drawn canvas for each guest. You just provide cups of water for rinsing brushes and some paper towels.

Our kits are fool-proof paint-by-number style, so everyone can go at their own pace. Think of it as an open, creative workshop — no instructor needed, just good vibes and great art.

 Cost: $70 per kit if you have 10 or more people.


Private Events – Easy Ordering & Group Discounts

Order directly on our website and use code BULKDISCOUNT for 20% off every kit.
To save time, you can email us all background colors and special requests along with your pet photos instead of entering each one at checkout.

The easiest system we’ve seen:

  • A Dropbox or Google Drive folder for photos

  • An Excel sheet with names and background colors

If you have more than 10 painters, please give Maddy a quick heads-up at maddy@grayduckart.com so our artists can prepare.

 

Public events – Gray Duck Art collects payment & photos

If you are a brewery or public venue and want to host one of our events, reach out to maddy@grayduckart.com and we will get it set up.

Step 1: Book Early: Ideally, book at least six weeks ahead so we have plenty of marketing time. We require all registrations and photos 3 weeks before the event, which means earlier booking gives more time to spread the word. Decide your painter cap—plan for 1.5–2 “drinking spaces” per painter (e.g., a table for 6 fits 3–4 painters). Typically a 3 hour window works great for our events, although if given the opportunity, many painters like to stay longer. We see some venues market the event as an all day thing where people can come paint their kit at anytime the day of the event. Our events are incredibly relaxed.

Step 2: Set Up: Once your date/time is confirmed, Gray Duck Art will create a Ticket Tailor link, Facebook event (with you as co-host), and send you a printable poster plus marketing images.

Step 3: Marketing & Prep: Ticket sales stay open until 21 days before the event. Kits are hand-drawn from submitted photos and shipped together to you. We handle organizing tickets, photos, and kits.

Step 4: Finalize: After registration closes, we confirm all photos. We’ll send a class confirmation email with a tips and tricks video.

Step 5: Kit Delivery: Kits arrive a few days before your event—each with brushes, paints, canvas, and a tablecloth. We’ll email you a class list to check all kits are accounted for.

Step 6: Day-of Setup: Provide tables, chairs, paper towels, and disposable water cups for rinsing brushes.

Step 7: Painter Arrival: Painters find their kit, water cup, and paper towels. No instructor needed—our kits are like a custom coloring book for painting.

Step 8: Painting Time: Most painters work 2–5 hours. Many finish at home; paints last for months.
