Kristal did a potion and tiger's eye craft birthday party for my daughter and it was PERFECT. Thank you Kristal for the beautiful set up, the thoughtful, attentive energy you put in, and for customizing the party to incorporate the boba bar! I think this was our best birthday party yet. read more

They did it again! Another amazing at-home paint party experience with Artbeat. A group of teen girls enjoyed boba, painting, and lots of fun--it was the perfect vibe for a birthday celebration. Everything was well-organized, engaging, and stress-free for the parents. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely and memorable experience. Highly recommend! read more

Artbeat - Ready to Paint - Paint & Sip Near Me

5-Star Review for Kristel at Artbeat San Diego! Kristel was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, her professionalism was a solid 10/10--she arrived right on time (even a little early!) and had everything perfectly set up for our "sip and paint" party. She hosted my daughter's 12th birthday celebration with seven of her friends, and it was nothing short of magical. The girls painted a gorgeous pink flamingo, and thanks to Kristel's clear, fun, and encouraging instructions, every single canvas turned out looking like it was created by a seasoned artist! The kids were thrilled with their masterpieces--and the boba drinks were a huge hit too! What really stood out was how seamlessly Kristel managed the whole event. She kept the energy upbeat, guided the group with patience and charm, and--most impressively--cleaned up afterward so thoroughly that you'd never know a paint party had just taken place! We had such a wonderful experience that we're already planning to book Artbeat San Diego again for our next celebration. Thank you, Kristel--you're truly awesome! read more

What a wonderful program! Girls were attentive and engaged the whole time and they earned their badges! Can't wait to do it again!!!!! Troop 1956 thank you! read more

Oh man! My Girl Scout troop LOVES art beat. Over the past few years Kristel has done 3 different sessions with our troop (as daisies, brownies, and now juniors) and they are always easy to coordinate and amazing. Kristel is great with the kids and they come away with a renewed self confidence in their art and really cool projects that we get to display for years. read more

Kristel and team just entertained 17x 5- to 7-year olds for 90min in our garage this past weekend (San Diego sunny weather foiled our outside/backyard painting party plans!), and I can't say enough good things about our experience. Kristel was extremely professional and her communication was excellent with all of us, despite our last minute scramble to clean out our garage in preparation for the event. Other than the weather there were no surprises and we were grateful to be able to still host our party and our daughter had a wonderful birthday party. Everyone had a painting and a clay dragon eye to take home and left very happy. Thank you, Kristel! read more

Kristel is an amazing teacher and person! Have been to 2 parties with her now, and have enjoyed the experience immensely! She is patient and really breaks each piece down so you don't feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend her classes! read more

We had a Harry Potter themed potions party from Artbeat San Diego for my daughter's 8th birthday. What an amazing experience! Glenda did a wonderful job as the potions instructor, arrived early and was so sweet to my daughter and all of the party goers. The class was an absolute hit. The kids were fully engaged and LOVED when the potion bubbled over the top of their cups! We had lots of gleeful giggles going on. It was so fun and easy to coordinate, I highly recommend Artbeat! read more

10/10 birthday party experience! Easy to book with the owner, Kristel, and Miss Lisa was a wonderful art teacher for our daughter's 8th birthday party. She was on time, brought all the paint and boba supplies and did a fantastic job leading the girls through the painting process. We had 12 very happy girls with adorable koala portraits! From the start they loved the boba drinks and were beaming at the end with their finished paintings they got to take home. My daughter proclaimed it "the best birthday party every!" and wants to do it again next year. Thank you Art Beat Studios for a fabulous party! read more

I was referred by another parent who hired Artbeat at a previous event and I'm very pleased with them. Kristel is very responsive to any questions I had.

They all did a great job with their paintings. read more

We hosted an Art Beat party at our home for our 8 year old's birthday. Kristel was amazing with the kids, encouraging them, showing amazing patience, and helping them each find their inner artist. She was communicative throughout the booking process and overall wonderful to work with. We look forward to booking with Kristel and Art Beat again. read more

I'm so glad we went with Artbeat (painting & sip boba) for my daughter's 10th birthday party. My daughter doesn't really like to paint so a painting party wasn't her thing but the boba was what totally sold her! I really appreciate Kristel for working with me to accommodate drink options for dietary restrictions and appreciate Zoey for being flexible to start the painting when all kids have arrived. Everything was just perfect and more! Booking was easy, communication was clear and smooth, setup was organized and cute! Clean up was fast and easy!! Zoey was very professional and great with the kids! I also love that I didn't have to worry about the remaining balance until the next day so I can focus on the event. Everything was flawless and I couldn't be more impressed with how well everything went. We have had many kids parties at many different places and this tops all of them! The other parents felt the same way and have already asked me about Artbeat so I'm sure you will only get more busy! Thank you again! read more

If there is more than 5star, I will give it to Kristel and her team! She is amazing!!!!! her materials are sooo legit! she made everyone listen and follow, from 5yrs old and up my 7th birthday of my Daughter is 100% successful with ArtBeat San Diego! No kids ever stand and run around. Instead, they are all glued and interested with what their doing. I wish your business success. Thank you! Everything went soooo smoothly and perfect! Please! I'm not sugar coating ArtBeat is the one for your child's painting event! Nothing else! read more

Kristel was awesome! We did a Girl Scout class with her for our daisy/brownie troop and she was super helpful with suggestions on how to structure the class and gave our girls options to choose from so we could vote ahead of time. Thank you Kristel for also being so flexible with our schedule and the crazy weather! We ended up doing our class at a library seminar room. Our girls had a great time and did the Outdoor Art Maker/Creator class and made flower pot wind chimes and terrariums with succulents! The pricing was also super reasonable and I'm sure we'll find a reason to do another class in the future for Girl Scouts or for a birthday party. read more

Kristel and her team are Amazing! They are patient and creative with groups of various sizes. I recently hosted a painting party for 12 ladies ranging from age 40-88. Kristel was so organized and did the set up and clean up of the painting tables. At the end of the 2 hours we each had a nice acrylic painting to take home. There is a lot of flexibility for the host in selecting which type of art to create for your event. read more

Miss Zoey was excellent and very joyful. We had a great experience with Artbeat. I would definitely recommend.

Artbeat hosted a private paint and sip for my friend's bachelorette party. The booking process was seamless, communication was frequent and Emily, our instructor, was fabulous!!! This was an awesome addition to a party and I highly recommend. I also think it's really convenient that they were able to come to the Airbnb we were staying at to host the event. I will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you again, Kristel and Emily!! read more

We just hosted an art birthday party for my 10 yo and her 6 friends. They had so much fun and Glenda (the instructor) was so patient and great. We did the "sweets and treats" party. Glenda set up the art, brought all the supplies and didn't need anything from me. The girls were so into the canvas painting and clay making. This was probably the easiest and best birthday party thrown! Thank you Art Beat! read more

If I could give Artbeat 100 stars, I would! Kristel and the entire Artbeat staff are incredible. We just wrapped up another summer at Artbeat art camps, and once again, they exceeded our expectations. My girls enjoyed every moment! They came home today with their art portfolios, and I am truly impressed by all they have learned. Artbeat will always be our top choice for camps. Thank you, Kristel, for dedicating so much heart and effort to everything you do for the children. I wish I had the opportunities you're providing for this generation when I was a kid! read more

My daughter and her 9 friends had a blast today thanks to Artbeat!!!

Our art party with Kristel was absolutely fabulous!

They were engaged and excited about their paintings each step of the way. I only wish I had found Kristel sooner! This was the best birthday party ever! read more

We have nothing but great things to say about ArtBeat. We were surprised and lucky to experience our party with Kristel herself! She was very informative, calm when children were not doing something they shouldn't, fun and went past our allotted time since we needed it... there was no rushed feeling for anyone. One of our girls had to leave early, so she helped her finish early while continuing to help others seamlessly. My little one had a blast painting with her friends and I'm sure we will be using ArtBeat again! Thank you Kristel, for making our party unique and fun! read more

We used Artbeat for a private paint party for my 8-year old daughter and her buddies. It was awesome! It was super EASY to reserve through their online system and Kristel confirmed the event right away. Artbeat was communicative before the party, following up on the party details, teacher and what to expect. The instructor (Rachel) showed up just as planned and she was amazing. All the kids loved her and had a great time doing a painting. Rachel held their attention and kept them having fun all the way through and then cleaned up and packed up in a flash. All around awesome. Everyone commented how much fun they had. Would love to use their services again for a future party! :) read more

We had an amazing experience using Artbeat for my daughter's 7th birthday party! Iness (sp?) came and set up in our backyard and held the attention of all eight 7 year olds for 1.5 hours while they all painted poodles (& the parents enjoyed uninterrupted conversations)! Iness then cleaned up afterwards as well. It was super easy and the kids loved it. I'm sure we will use them again in the future! read more

I absolutely love Artbeat and the organization I've worked for has utilized them for staff team building days more than 4 years! Today Kristel lead an art class with my team and it was such a wonderful experience. Kristel really went out of her way to make my staff feel comfortable and relaxed during the experience. I have some staff members who aren't super creative and are at times afraid of being crafty..... she honestly made these people feel so welcomed and they did such a great job! What stood out to me the most is that Kristel is so down to earth and so sweet! You can tell that she is absolutely passionate about painting, teaching and mentoring! When we finished our day my team told me they absolutely enjoyed their time with Kristel and were excited to be able to take home such a gorgeous painting, they created! Thanks so much Kristel/Artbeat, you are the best! read more

We had a 10 year old Bday celebration with 20 kids. ArtBeatSD made it amazing from start to finish! Scheduling and organizing the event was very easy. Kristel was very communicative and responsive so no detail was left out. On the day of the event, Marisol arrived, set up everything we needed, and kept the kids entertained and mesmerized through the entire process. Each child went home with their artwork and had a blast. Thank you ArtBeatSD! We will be calling you again! read more

My daughter loves art and asked for an art party. Thank goodness google identified Art Beat! She was able to pick her piece and was sooo excited! Our teacher arrived at our house early and set up and she was wonderful! I have to admit with a bunch of 8 year old girls I was incredibly nervous about how this was going to go - but they remained engaged, had a great time and got to take home their awesome pieces at the end of the party. It was pretty cool also to see them walk around and look at what each other was doing and compliment each other on the work (it was the cutest!) I would not hesitate to do this again - in fact we may need to do this sooner than later for the moms ;) read more

I'm so supper excited about my 60s style Paint and dinner party turned out! Kristel is amazing!!! She has the sweetest spirit and showed up with her sixties outfit on ready to set up right on time.

I am not artistic and or talented to say the least. Our Girl Scout service unit offered us a painting party virtually and I was amazed at the outcome of my painting, I was in awh! Kristel was very nice, patient and thought us techniques to ensure that our butterflies turned out just right! I then booked a party for my older Girl Scout troop (high school age) and Kristel dropped off all the kits at our home with all the supplies we needed. The girls loved it! So, for Xmas we decided to have another one with the our Girl Scout troop but also incorporated our younger girls (5th grade). They loved it as well. As a Xmas gift I booked my own personal party and had my family join in the fun. My mother and her BFF where a bit worried about painting as they had never done anything like this before. After we were all done they commented to me that they truly enjoyed it and they loved the way Kristel taught us different techniques and that she had a lot of patience with everyone. She checks in with you throughout the painting time and she always makes sure that everyone is together and answers any questions. I truly recommend Artbeat and will continue to attend/book more parties with them. Thank you Artbeat for such a great experience! See ya on ZOOM soon!! read more
