For Evening Paint events, BYOB & BYOF
Bring your favorite bottle of wine or beer and munchies, we provide cups, bottle openers, and plates for snacks. You are also welcome to bring your own paper products if you have a certain theme in mind.

Special Needs

Please let us know in advance if you have any special needs or food allergies.

Can I Bring a Friend or Family Member to Watch Me Paint?

No, just the painters who have registered are permitted to attend. We want all of your creative energy to be able to focus on your masterpiece.

Artist Attire

We recommend you wear comfortable clothes for your paint event. We supply aprons for protection against the water-based acrylic paint we use. These paints become water-resistant when they dry, so roll your sleeves up and get creative!

Pet Policy

Wagging Tail Studios is all about pets. We love them so much we think it’s best they hang out at home awaiting their owners return with their creative painted canvas masterpiece. However, we welcome service pets, please contact us regarding any attendee who will be accompanied by a service pet.

Is Wagging Tail Studio an Art Instruction Studio?

During your paint party, you will have the opportunity to learn how to create a painting you’ll be proud of. However, the paint event is focused on having fun, experiencing a unique night out and enjoying social time with friends. Our instructors will help guide the painters, answer questions, and give suggestions if needed, but we want the masterpiece to be all yours so you will be encouraged to paint most of the portrait on your own. The emphasis will be on unleashing your creativity and having fun! It will be a class you won’t soon forget.
