👨‍🎨 Artist/Party Facilitator: Xavier
💵 Special Audition Price: $20 per person!

We’re auditioning a new Artist/Party Facilitator, and we need your help! 🎨

Xavier has chosen “Starfish at Sunset” for his audition painting, and you’re invited to join the fun at a special $20 ticket price!

This will be like any other Corks and Strokes paint party, with one little twist: we’ll ask you to complete a short survey afterward to help us decide whether Xavier would be a great addition to our team of fun Party Facilitators.

🎟️ Bonus! Each completed survey submitted with an email address will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE paint party certificate!

Your canvas will be pre traced, and Xavier will guide you step by step. No painting experience is needed. Just come ready to have fun, create something beautiful, and share your feedback!

What is included for $20

✅ Pre traced 16x20 canvas to take home 
✅ Paints, brushes, apron, and easel
✅ Step-by-step guidance from Xavier
✅ A chance to help us choose our next Artist/Party Facilitator
🎟️ Entry into our free paint party certificate drawing when you submit your completed survey with an email address
🍷 Bring your favorite drinks and snacks to enjoy while you paint. Wine, champagne, and beer are welcome for guests 21 and older.

👶 Age Guidance

All of our in-studio parties are considered all ages. We simply ask that younger guests are mature enough to follow along with the Artist/Party Facilitator and participate without being disruptive to the artist or other guests. Parents know their child best, so we leave that decision up to you!
