In 2017, a beautiful friend asked if I could help raise money for her sister Mari’s cancer treatment with a creative class. We held many painting parties for Mari, and I fell in love with combining my passions for hosting, creating, and giving. Just like that, Artem del Dare was born.
Over the years, the format of these classes has evolved. I don't guide everyone step-by-step to make the exact same painting anymore. Instead, I encourage you to create something entirely your own.
But don't worry, you aren't on your own!
I bring plenty of sample paintings for inspiration to copy or use as a starting point.
I also provide written, step-by-step instructions for select samples if you prefer more structure. I got you!
This is a low-pressure space to paint what you want, with my full support and guidance along the way.
I am fully mobile and love finding the perfect spot to paint:
My Highlands Ranch Home Studio: We can accommodate up to 12 painters inside my suburban studio, or move outdoors if the weather is nice!
On the Go: I can bring the party directly to you, a local brewery, or any business with large tables. I have space and supplies for up to 20 guests—and I bring the tablecloths if we get a little paint flinging!
The general rate for a painting party is $40 per person, though this is flexible based on your donation goals.
Ticketing & Fees: I am going to use GiveButter to manage registration. This is a "tip based" ticketing solution so 100% of your dontation goes to the cause. Please tip them so they can keep the platform free to use.
Donations: We include a custom donation on your ticket page for friends, family, or coworkers who cannot attend the class but still want to contribute.
100% Payout: Every dollar raised—minus your tip to Givebutter —goes directly to your cause.
Once we nail down the details, I will set up and manage the ticketing page. Because personal excitement is the absolute best way to pack the room, I need your help spreading the word! Email your friends, text your family, and tell your local barista. If you handle getting people excited to sign up, I will take care of the supplies, setup, and instruction to make sure everyone has an amazing time.
