Columbia Art Center provides the canvas, easel, brushes, paints and smocks/aprons for your entire team. You are welcome to bring refreshments or catering for your event. Team-Building Painting Activities Individual Paintings: Each participant paints and personalizes their own painting with the help of the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s step-by-step instruction.

One-Step, Two-Step Painting: Paint one step, then move to a different seat to continue to the next step. Collaborative Painting: Everyone in the group contributes to a large, 3-foot by 4-foot painting. One collaborative painting is recommended for every 10 painters at the event. These works of art are ideal for displaying on the office wall and for use as a conversation piece. Mystery Masterpiece: Our instructor takes you through the painting process step by step.
