History
Established in 2014.
Carey Federspiel was teaching small group and private art lessons for many years, with an occasional "Ladies Night Out" art party thrown in. She was asked many times to start doing Paint and Sip, so she attended some in the area from the "big" franchises. Carey could see how people could enjoy these a whole lot better if they got more instruction when they wanted and also if they were in a better space. Art Partay creates a more relaxing experience in special venues, including people's homes.
