The Best Virtual Paint Night Events for Corporate Teams

As a business leader, you’ve probably spent a good amount of time looking for fun and innovative ways to connect with your team members. Sure, you can browse the internet for virtual experiences that fit your team members’ needs and interests, but have you ever considered a virtual paint night?

A favorite among team members and business leaders alike, a virtual paint night allows you to connect on a deeper level and helps channel inner artists.

Let’s take a closer look at why you should consider planning one today.

What is a paint night?

Paint nights are exactly what they sound like: a night of painting! During this experience, you’ll typically all paint a similar photo, engage with one another, and maybe sip on a drink at the same time.

These are great events for corporate teams because they break up the autonomy of the everyday workday. Team members will be able to connect, laugh, and enjoy themselves, and they’ll develop a more profound connection with each other that will help them achieve more during the workweek.

Not only that, but research suggests engaging in art activities can improve your mental health and provide individuals with a confidence boost. This is all to say paint parties can be a great engagement tool you can use to promote a stress-free work environment.

If you aren’t sure where to start, we’re here to help.

Here are 15 of our favorite paint night events for corporate teams.

This is our classic go-to virtual paint night experience that includes drinks. Every team member will receive a bottle of wine, snacks, and all the art supplies they need to paint.

This paint night experience can accommodate up to 100 team members and is 90 minutes long.

Paint Your Pet

Do you have a Slack channel called “furry friends” at work? That may be a sign you need to schedule a paint-your-pet virtual paint night. For this experience, everyone will receive a pre-sketch of their furry friend so they can paint them with their coworkers. Don’t worry, if everyone on your team doesn’t have a pet, they can choose to paint their favorite in the Slack channel or a photo of their childhood pets. What’s great about this experience is they all get to leave with a hand-painted photo they can cherish for years to come.
