Who doesn’t love a holiday party? The twinkling lights, Santa sightings, and quality time with friends and family can’t be beat! But admit it: some seasonal celebrations—especially work-related ones—can get a bit cringy. They’re not bad; they just all tend to be the same.
This season, they don’t have to be.
Deena Pelton, owner and self-titled “entertainer” of Brushing It Up, is all about painting a new picture for your holiday festivities. Her mobile painting parties are gaining popularity for a reason: they create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages socializing without the awkward small talk.
“It’s a good activity to bring people together without putting too much pressure on the socializing aspect,” Deena says. Instead of the usual water-cooler chatter, her parties spark creativity and connection, perfect for family get-togethers or team-building events. “It takes the pressure off of people, especially shy, quiet people because there's already something there to talk about.” Which is, the art!
Even better? Deena brings the fun right to you. Forget about heading to a paint-and-sip place, she likens to an expensive bar with an activity. Instead, she supplies everything you need—tables, chairs, canvas, easels, and acrylic paint. Set-up and clean-up? She’s got that covered, too.
With a variety of holiday-themed canvases like snowmen and gingerbread, and non-seasonal favorites like palm trees or Golden Knights designs, there’s something for everyone. Guests can even paint wine glasses, ornaments, or wood signs by special request.
So, this holiday season, why not let your guests unleash their creativity? Brushing It Up can transform your party from drab to fab, creating memories that last long after the holidays or make the perfect gift to enjoy in the new year.
