Special Events
Periodically, we host special events that require a little more explanation than we can fit onto the calendar. See below for more info on upcoming special events.
At Different Strokes, we value the charitable organizations in our community that work every day to improve the lives of others, and we want to help in the effort. So, we donate 25% of the proceeds from any of our charitable Art events to a different charity each time. Know of a worthy local organization who could use our help? Please, pass our info on to them and have them contact us! No discounts, coupons or vouchers are accepted for Charitable Art events. In addition, we sell our extra sample paintings for $10, which make great gifts. We donate 10% of our gross income (not of our profits, of all income before any expenses are deducted) to local charities!
Musical Chairs Night - At Different Strokes, in these classes, painters will switch to someone else's canvas every few steps. The painting you end on is the one you take home with you. This is a great team building event, and is really good for helping perfectionists learn to let go! This is also a great way to get attendees talking to each other, and help singles' groups interact, since you sit next to a new person each time you change canvases.
Black Light Night - At Different Strokes, in these classes you'll be painting with florescent paint that glows under the black light. Periodically throughout the class, we'll turn the overhead lights off and the black lights on to mark our progress. Groovy!
Halloween Costume Party or Paint-a-Pumpkin - Bring the kids to a fun and safe Halloween paint party. Kids can wear their costumes but it is not a requirement. The painting for this party will be Halloween themed. Candy and other treats are included in the registration price. Classes run about 1 hr. -OR- PAINT-a-Pumkin.....Bring the whole family to paint on a pumpkin and display it for Halloween. We'll walk you step-by-step through decorating a pumpkin with paint, or just paint your own design. These classes run about an hour.
Couples Night - A chance to work together and express your true creativity together! At these events, each member of the couple paints a canvas that when put next to the canvas painted by the other member of the couple, combines into one complete painting. Hang them together at home to impress your friends! When booking online for a Couples Night, please reserve 2 seats to indicate that you understand that it's a Couples Night.
Paint Your Partner and Paint Your Partner as a Zombie - Sit across the table from your partner and paint their portrait. We'll teach you about face shape, hair, and skin color, and you can decide if you want your image to be a cartoon or like a Picasso painting. For Halloween, you can do the same thing, but a zombie version! Don't have a partner? Paint your own portrait!!
