We try to support vendors for our team events, but our experience with "Paint the Town" was chaotic…read morefrom start to finish. We booked a premium, full-service package for a team-building afternoon, but instead of relaxing, my team spent the entire time stressing, moving boxes, and cleaning up after the staff we hired. We aren't trying to be difficult clients; we simply wanted the service we paid for. Instead, we faced a massive burden: The setup was chaotic and late: For a group our size, the policy is a 40-80 minute setup window. The facilitator didn't show up until 1:33 PM for a 2:00 PM start. Her assistant didn't arrive until after the event started. We were left watching the clock, wondering if our event was even going to happen. We had to manage their logistics: The assistant arrived late and without ID. Since we are in a secure office building, she couldn't get in. Instead of the vendor handling this, my team had to stop what they were doing, leave the event space, and go down to the lobby to retrieve her and haul up the supplies she was carrying. Dismissive attitude: Mistakes happen, but the facilitator's attitude made it worse. She was dismissive about being late and shockingly unhelpful regarding her own assistant's supplies. At one point, when asked about the materials her assistant brought, she refused to help, telling us she "couldn't hang onto that." It felt like we were imposing on her, rather than the other way around. My team did the physical labor: Because they were so behind, the setup wasn't done until 2:30 PM--30 minutes into our paid time. To save the event, my colleagues and I had to step in and physically unpack boxes, set up stations, and distribute materials. We paid for a full-service event but ended up doing the heavy lifting ourselves. Contract issues: We paid extra for the "all new supplies" option so our team could keep their materials. Despite this, the facilitator packed up and took many of the paints and brushes back with her. They walked out on the mess: Despite the event starting late due to their tardiness, the facilitator refused to stay a minute past 4:00 PM. She started aggressively cleaning up while people were still painting, then bolted out the door right at 4:00, leaving us to finish the cleanup and break down the boxes. I cannot recommend this vendor. We paid for a fun, stress-free afternoon and instead received a chaotic experience where we had to work as the setup and cleanup crew.

This is my second time coming here. I came here once pre-covid for a work offsite/team building…read moreevent. I booked my visit the night before as my friend and I needed something to do in the afternoon on a cold winter day before we went to our dinner plans. Booking was super easy. When we entered, we checked in at the front desk/bar area and were directed to grab an apron off the hooks and hang our jackets up in the coat room behind the exit door. Seats were assigned and your paint station has your name on it. (They make this clear during the booking process that your party will be sat together, and if you book separately, you'll need to make sure to choose your group's name from the drop down to ensure you're sat together). Your workstation comes with an easel with a canvas, 5 brushes, a water can, and 5 brushes. There's a stack of communal plates (for color mixing) and paper towels in the middle of the table. The audience was made up of various ages and profiles - from couples to friends to families to kids celebrating a birthday to solo painters. The staff make is super welcoming from the start and explain the whole process clearly from how to order food (from the QR code on your easel) to having a floater artist walking around to provide help if you need it. You also don't have to paint the product that's shown and can use the time as a freestyle session if you wish. Beyond the provided palette (curated to the painting you booked), they do have a shelf of various colors to choose from so your imagination is unlimited. They also have blow dryers stationed throughout so you can dry your paint if you painted layers too thick and need to add additional layers on top. There seems to be another room downstairs past the bathrooms and I saw a group of kids go down there so I assume that's used for private bookings (didn't get to see the space, just heard voices and saw people go there) Took stars off for the following: - Bathrooms are downstairs so not the most accessible. The sink only had cold water despite using the hot tap. Made my hands absolutely freezing when it was already 0 degrees outside. - The painting we did was advertised to be 2 hours. I feel like timing could have been better managed or advertised. We started a few minutes late. The pace was going great in the beginning with sufficient pauses for us to follow along, then when there was technically 15 min remaining at 5:15 (the booking is for 3:30-5:30pm), we were rushing to complete the remaining portions of the painting and my friend and I couldn't keep up fast enough. i feel like they should have advertised this as 2.5 hours so the last steps aren't rushed. Others did finish with the allotted time and we weren't rushed out at the end, but the pacing just felt off given the nice pace we had in the beginning. - I also wished we had some time to rinse out our cups or more pauses to blow down our work. Maybe I'm OCD and hate how gross the water gets and my brushes never feel clean. I took some time to rinse out my cup and another time took some time to blow dry my painting, but when I got back to my seat I fell very behind. - At the end while I was still finishing up, I heard a few people asking for bags to take their paintings home in and heard the staff saying they didn't have any. I would think this would be a common enough request that they'd have bags on hand (or just by default would provide bags) since we are in the city and many of us need to commute on the subways and aren't just walking into our own private vehicles.

The instructor, Danielle, was attentive and well-spoken, guiding us through the entire process step by step. However, we started few minutes late due to guests running late that day. We were allowed to stay towards the day to finish up if we needed to. As an artist myself, I always enjoy seeing how different instructors demonstrate their techniques. I haven't painted on canvas in quite some time, so this class was a great refresher for me. The bar area was closed for renovation. The last time I visited which was before the pandemic, it was also closed. This made me wonder if renovations are still ongoing. Personally, it didn't bother me since I prefer not to eat or drink while painting, but my friends were a bit disappointed. The bar only had light snacks available (cookies and chips). Hopefully, once renovations are complete, guests who enjoy the full "Paint and Sip" experience will have more options. The instructor assistant took photos of the session however I have yet to find the photos on their Facebook group for that specific session. Good thing, I took photos myself in case this situation happened which it did. I would love to see the photos of that day though. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would definitely love to return in the near future!

He walked us step-by-step through the painting, demonstrating each part on a sample canvas and checking in with everyone as we painted. He kept our mimosa glasses full and refreshed our paint palettes There were also fresh pastries and fruit to nibble on while we painted, and he even helped us take photos and videos throughout the class Whether you're planning a cute date, a girls day out, or just looking for something creative and fun to do in NYC, this is such a unique experience. Highly recommend and yes, I'll be back with more friends soon!
