Stir Up the Paint PHL: Sip N Paint Experience

What you'll do:

Over the course of 2 hours, you'll tap into your creative side in a relaxed, welcoming environment—no experience necessary!

Our instructor will guide you step-by-step through creating your own version of the featured painting. You'll learn basic techniques, play with color, and add your own personal flair. Whether you follow the instructions to a T or go rogue with your own style, you’ll walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Expect good music, good vibes, and plenty of time to sip, laugh, and connect with friends (or make some new ones). All painting materials are provided—just bring your energy and a willingness to try something new!

Why we love it for your party:

• It’s a whole experience — not just an activity (From the moment your guests dip their brushes, they’re immersed in a creative, hands-on experience that’s fun, memorable, and way more exciting than your typical dinner or drinks. It’s entertainment and a keepsake in one!)

• No skills needed, just good vibes (Our events are beginner-friendly and stress-free, making it perfect for everyone in your group—from the artsy friend to the “I-can-only-draw-stick-figures” crew. Everyone leaves with a painting they’re proud of (and a few laughs along the way)

• It brings people together (Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, team event, or just a Friday night, painting side-by-side creates instant connection. Add in music, cocktails, and a little paint-splattered fun, and you’ve got a party to remember)

About this experience partner:

Stir Up the Paint Philly is the passion project of Demi Hart—a one-woman, Black-owned business born from a deep love of community, creativity, and trying something new (even if you totally fail at it the first time!).

What started as a way to bring people together during tough times has grown into a full-on movement rooted in joy, self-expression, and real connection. Demi believes that art doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours. With a background in community work and a fierce commitment to creating welcoming, affirming spaces, she’s hosted everything from drag-themed paint nights to corporate team-building events and intimate birthday parties.

Every class is about more than just painting—it’s about showing up as you are, laughing a lot, and leaving with something you created by hand (and probably a few new friends too).

At Stir Up the Paint Philly, the brush is in your hands—and so is the vibe
