I really enjoyed the painting event at the Meridian yesterday with Nikki teaching. She was such a…read moregreat instructor and guided us gently through the steps to create a water / lilypad piece.

Paint the Town completely dropped the ball. I spent weeks confirming headcount, party details,…read morepayments, and logistics with them. Then, on the morning of my daughter's party (scheduled for 11:30 AM), the instructor sent a vague text at 6:45 AM saying they wouldn't be able to make it and then never responded to any of my follow-ups. To make matters worse, I couldn't reach anyone at the company. I called, texted, and emailed multiple times trying to see if they could send a backup instructor or at least switch to a virtual format. Nothing. No support, no communication...just silence. Finally, I heard back from someone on Monday, asking if I wanted to reschedule. Because apparently, that's how birthday parties work? This company clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service or event planning. I regret ever trusting them with something so important. I would not recommend Paint the Town -- look for a more reliable company that actually puts their customers first.

"Quite The Experience!!" I Truly had a ball at the Muse Paintbar... For this being my first Paint &…read moreSip outing, I was honestly surprised at how much fun I had. The instructor "Jonathan" did an absolute classy job at making sure everyone was at ease and understood the task at hand without feeling pressured. The entire staff at the Muse on the National Harbor brought superb energy and a pleasant smile. I encourage everyone to get out on a nice beautiful day and put your artistic skills to work. And no matter what transpires once the paint brush hit the canvass... Always remember every artistic expression makes its own footprint in the world of creativity !!!

I love this Muse Paintbar location. They have great instructors, they sell wine and champagne. It's…read morea spacious venue with two large paint rooms to host two different paints sessions at a time. It's great for groups, a date or just a solo time to tend to your inner artist. There's a couple of parking lots nearby, and of course various places to dine nearby.

Pricing for the experience itself was very fair, though the food and drink was a tad on the pricier side but still acceptable. Can definitely see myself going back and highly recommend others give it a try. Added bonus is that they have some art from local artists for sale on the wall, much of which is very fairly priced and would make some incredible decor or gifts.

This is a great spot to do something new (albeit - not the cheapest activity in the DMV if you are…read moreprice-sensitive). Decided to do this with co-workers, and honestly, we all had a great time. We all had various skill levels when it came to painting, but we all enjoyed ourselves. Our instructor was also very helpful - guiding us through the different steps of completing our portraits and encouraging us along the way. There were also food and wine options. I wouldn't say they're the best ever, but it hit good. Especially drinking wine and painting. I would highly recommend checking out this place next time you want to do something new :)

Kira the instructor was wonderful! She was friendly, outgoing, encouraging confident, and inspired the ladies to just create even if it didn't look like the picture we had chosen, it, was their masterpiece. She came to us, which was even more wonderful and very convenient . I highly recommend paint the town LLC! I will definitely be using them again sometime in the future.

Had such a great first experience at Muse Paint Bar in Mosaic District!…read more The instructor was amazing and made the class easy to follow and fun. The staff was incredibly nice, organized, and patient with everyone. I had the sampler platter and it was delicious -- and they made sure food came out in a timely manner. There's plenty of space, so you don't feel cramped, and parking is easy with garage and street options available. Overall, such a fun night out. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it!

This was such a fun experience! I love that they guide you through creating certain paintings, and…read morethere are so many options to choose from! I had not painted for many years and wanted to get creative again. Art is therapeutic. If you are bored of the same old thing, try this! The set up was well organized. They have everything you need there. They even sell hot food and drinks. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and light bites. A lot of the food seemed baked and not fried (if it matters to you). The painting instructor was great. My painting turned out better than I thought it would be. This would be a great experience for groups, team building, birthdays, public and private events, and just as a general social mixer. I did not know anyone there but got to know people sitting at my table. The staff even takes care of the clean up! I went away feeling more motivated to get back into the arts.

Everyone knows that I don't give out five starts very often. A business must go way over and beyond…read moremy expectations to get all five! I have been to several paint nights and have even left in tears from one of those... that was not the case with Creative Mankind. This company travels around to different venues and offers a variety of painting options. I met up with a group of friends and we painted a Mardi Gras themed picture. Right off the bat I knew it was going to be an awesome experience. We were greeted with upbeat music and beads to celebrate the occasion. Our instructor really put a lot of thought and passion into the class ahead of time. Laying on the canvas was a template of the mask we needed to transfer to our painting. She let us know that we could "go rogue" and change up the colors and skip the sketching parts but I am way not that talented! She had one completed painting on an easel and another blank canvas for demonstration up on an elevated easel. It was visible to everyone in the room without having to stand up. She was extremely accommodating as far as time given for each step, which I really appreciated! It was fun how she would tell us how many songs she would play for us to finish each step... "okay you have two songs to do this step!" There was an assistant who walked around and offered advice and guidance which was helpful. Creative Mankind had partnered with a restaurant that offered drink specials and happy hour pricing for apps! The restaurant provided a dedicated server to us which was a nice touch. And huzzah... my painting actually looked a lot like the sample! Which for me is a huge deal because I am really not artistic or creative with paint. We were all encouraged along the way and our confidence was bolstered by telling us that everyone is an artist but we express our artistry in different ways. I was with a party of six and all of our paintings turned out different and reflected our personalities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Creative Mankind for any event they host. They also do private parties!

For our last trip in July, I was tasked with coordinating the fun team activity and stumbled upon Creative Mankind. I was considering a couple other options, but when I started communicating with Staci (the owner and host), there was really no question that this was the activity (painting class) I wanted to plan for my team. She was so nice, so patient, and super accommodating in every way possible. She even found the most perfect venue to hold our team event (Lyon Hall). She provided all supplies, ensured the ambiance was great and lively, and her instruction was so thorough! She guided us -ever so patiently- every step of the way. We had so much fun! I would, 100% recommend Creative Mankind for your next work team event!!
