In today’s business world, team building has become a core concept for increasing productivity and fostering a better business environment. While we encourage our patron’s participation in rival teambuilding programs, they frequently leave out one core concept. Creativity!
Our clients have told us that the camaraderie and team oriented skill sets developed through our program have directly carried over to the workplace, creating higher productivity and greater enthusiasm on the part of the employees.

Our instructor will take your group through the step-by-step process of replicating the featured painting. Our Artists encourage your staff to express their own artistic individuality while completing the theme, and everyone will go home with a piece of art that is uniquely theirs.
Your employees will each begin a painting of their own, but every time the music stops they will change seats and continue working on a different staff member’s painting.
We break up a painting into several individual pieces, as determined by the size of your group. Each member of your staff will work on a piece of the collage, which will be pieced together to show the complete work.
There is an additional setup charge of $100 (or more, depending on complexity) to prepare the collage.
We are always looking for new ways to help our patrons express their creativity. If you have a particular concept for a class, we would love to help you make that idea into a reality. Call us at (734) 720-9777 for more information.
