Looking Back To Our First Virtual Paint Party!

By: Dwayne Smith

We debuted in the virtual space long before the invisible enemy would disrupt everyday life.

At the time when the request for a virtual party came in through our FaceBook Page, we were excited.

This was a space we wanted to bring value, fun and engagement to our customers as we decided early out to not have a brick and mortar location.

Our soon to be An Eye 4 Art artists, had family visiting from out of town and “wanted nothing more than to do something fun and memorable, without the stress of the holiday crowds and traffic filled roads. When we heard about the virtual paint parties, we thought it was a perfect way to connect with one another and create new memories without the stress of getting our family of nine to a venue”.

They did just that!

We’ve worked on making the booking process super simple and when a personal touch is needed, someone from our team is on hand to talk you through the best solution, whether it be timing, shipping or even a series of events for select businesses who have themed nights and need art aligned paintings to amplify the themes.
​
We got the supplies packaged and shipped a week in advance, complete with the canvas, paintbrushes, paint, apron, cups, tablecloth to help keeping the area clean and paint free as well as a detailed instruction sheet about login details and a walk through each step as you create your masterpiece.
 
It’s very similar to our D-I-Y At Home Experience Paint Kits. You can purchase these on any day and in any amount.
 
BBQ paint party maybe? Hmmm! That sounds super cool…

We don’t say “An Enjoying Experience for Everyone” and not mean it. 

We checked in with our virtual An Eye 4 Art artists to learn about their experience and ask a few questions. 
In summary here’s what they shared, much to our delight: it’s not the kind words that bring us joy and hope, it’s satisfaction that they clearly displayed throughout the virtual paint party and the tangible longevity of the experience that they shared. An experience we want to spread and bring to more families!
“Our family enjoyed every second of the paint experience. The instructor was fun and engaging and helped us create some wonderful paintings”

We introduced our instructor Tessa recently, check out that blog post.
 
“What I liked most about the experience was watching my family really get into the activity. Everyone was engaged, smiling and proud of what they were learning and how their paintings turned out. When the instructor asked everyone to share their pictures individually, it was so awesome to watch each person proudly display their version of the painting” and “The paintings are proudly on display in our home so we are always reflecting on the experience. We have had some fun debates about whose is the best and when we can set up another painting challenge”.
​
Simply put our virtual paint parties are “Easy, Fun, Memorable, Innovative, Engaging, Cost Effective, Convenient, And Worthwhile”.
