Painting with a twist can be a unique way to celebrate a birthday, anniversaries, or any other occasion. There are more than 1500 paintings available to choose from and many other special events can be planned to make your event memorable. Painting with a Twist is perfect for a private party, a date night, or team-building activity. Some locations may also have alcohol, so be sure to check the regulations in your area.

Founded in 2008 by Renee Maloney and Cathy Deano, Painting with a Twist has expanded from a single location in New Jersey to 365 franchise locations nationwide. Initially a concept that was intended to help New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina, the franchise now has offices in nine states. Paint Pour offers a unique opportunity for guests to celebrate a special occasion by socializing over wine and painting.

Painting with a Twist also offers classes to help you develop your painting skills. Instructors walk around the room during demonstrations and answer any artistic questions that may arise. You can attend a class for $35 per person, which includes an apron, canvas, brushes, and step-by-step art instruction. If you can’t afford a class, you can purchase a gift certificate for a loved one who has an interest in art.
