My daughter had an amazing time at Painting on Park's 2023 summer camp. This was her first summer…read morecamp ever and I am so happy that it was with PoP because it made her feel so confident and excited. When I picked her up after her first day there she said, "I had so much fun and I made new friends!" That made my momma heart so happy. The instructors at the summer camp were so warm and welcoming and my daughter said they were very nice and helpful. She came home every day with an amazing painting and craft. She did a painting every day and PoP supplied different crafts like friendship bracelets, slime, really neat paper mache lanterns and much more. She also received a tie-dyed PoP shirt and a snack every day. This summer camp was definitely right up her ally and she said she wants to do it again next year. The price is right (and even on the more reasonable side) compared to other art camps in the area. Thank you for a lovely week long summer camp PoP! We will be returning!

It is a big confidence booster and as an added bonus he gets exposure to advanced math concepts he otherwise has not been taught yet. Also it is nice that parents can hang around during the weekend classes and sample the board games on hand. Highly recommend. Classes include pixel art, animation, and various types of game design. We have only dabbled in the art and animation so far but I am sure game design will be next on the list! BTW, the only parking is street parking but I have never had a problem getting a spot.

What a great local business! Such a fun day!…read more First off, it was very easy to find street parking right in front of (and across the street) from the place. Unfortunately it is located on the second (or maybe third) floor and there are quite a few stairs you must take to get up there. We had a few older women in our group and they did make it up, however, it is something to note. This is actually an art gallery so there are great pieces of art throughout the entire place. You can rent the space for your own private parties. Yesterday was so much fun! It was ladies day out and a birthday party with 10 of us. Teresa and Jen were amazing - so friendly and they couldn't be more helpful taking their time helping us each step of the way to a beautiful painting. We brought our own food and beverages (they supplied coffee and milk!) and everything else was provided for us - the canvases, paint, paintbrushes, smocks, etc, etc. So many fun paintings to choose from. I was worried ours would be too difficult but in the end it came out amazing (see pictures). Definitely want to come back again with a bunch of friends.

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.
