Not enough time? Pinot’s Palette lets you purchase more time to make the space your own. Parties: Private parties can be booked for 10 to 15 people, for two- or three-hour sessions, bookended by half hour mingle periods. Check the locations for seasonal events as well.

Have a little girl scout in the family? Painting with Pinot’s Palette nets a badge for it. Pinot’s Palette is also home to the “Little Brushes” program, during which children between 6 and 12 years of age are welcome to a fun, party-like atmosphere where they’re encouraged to play with colors and paints, make collages, and more.

The Menu: Assorted drinks like coffee, wine, beer and soda can be purchased and consumed here, as well as some finger foods.įor the Kids: The Park Slope location holds afternoon sessions on weekends featuring kid-friendly works like the cute owl “Little Hootie Pie” or a colorful Sugar Skull, while in Dyker Heights, parents and kids work on “Mommy and Me” projects side by side. However, you and the kids can also stop by the Open Studio events, when the canvas is your, well, canvas paint whatever you want on a 16×20 canvas (included in the price) or follow one of the self-guided paintings. Keep in mind, though, that the evening paintings have an open bar and more difficult projects, so smaller children might get frustrated at the difficulty level. Pinot’s Palette doesn’t designate special children’s days, simply because kids are always welcome, and many of the paintings offered here are kid-friendly. In Dyker Heights, Tatiana Nicoli converted part of her store Boulevard Books and Café into a Pinot’s Palette studio. One, located on Park Slope’s 5th Avenue, is owned and operated by retired NYPD officer and Army vet Scott Drummond.

Parties: Choose from over 5,000 paintings for a two- or three-hour class, plus half an hour before and after the main event to mingle and relax. No alcohol is allowed on family days, although 15 – 20 year olds are welcome to attend the regular painting sessions (sans drinking, of course!).įor the Kids: Family-friendly classes are often scheduled throughout the month here, but try to book with a friend because the singles and regular classes are more popular, and classes can be cancelled if a minimum number of participants isn’t met. The Menu: Basic wine, beer, soda and small finger food is available, but you’re welcome to bring your own booze as well. The recommended age is over 7, so leave the little ones at home for this one. Painting With a Twist is a bright and inviting place to spend a few hours painting and relaxing. The space is relatively small, but cozy, and instructors and staff are super friendly. Even without any previous artistic experience, you’ll be surprised at how great everyone’s art turns out. (You can bring your own wine, beer, champagne, etc.-but no hard liquor.) The location will provide paints, an easel, and an apron you bring yourself and the kids, and your inner artists. You can join a scheduled class with a predetermined painting, or book a private event for a chance to choose from hundreds of designs.Ĭosts range from about $30 to $60 per person, per session, and everything (except the drinks) is included.

Rows of easels are set up facing an instructor, who walks you through the painting of that session, step by step.

Don’t worry if you’re nervous about bringing your child to a bar - the spots are more art studio than saloon. Paint and sip spots are exactly what they sound like: places where you can hold a brush in one hand and a glass of wine (or whatever your beverage of choice is) in the other.
