Paint & Sip

None at all. A live artist walks the group through it one brushstroke at a time, and every kit arrives with a premium canvas, professional brushes, vibrant paints, and stencils and templates, so nobody starts at a blank white void. The session is paced for all levels, and the goal was never a gallery piece. It's the hour your team spends comparing clouds and laughing at each other's trees. If someone on your team is certain they can't draw, this is the format built for them.

For the holidays your artist leads the whole group through one of two festive canvases: Winter Moonlight, a trio of snow-laden pines under a full moon with a red cardinal perched on the tallest, or Holiday Candlelight, two glossy red candles beside a gilded pine cone and evergreen under a wall of bokeh lights. Pick one for the whole team; customization is free if you'd like it pointed at a company milestone or a holiday message. Outside the season the choice widens to Abstract Art Adventure, Scenic Landscapes, Seasonal & Botanical Bliss, or Winter Fun.

There's more history in that lineup than you'd guess. Europe's art academies spent roughly two centuries ranking subjects in a strict order of merit, with grand historical scenes at the top and landscapes and flowers near the bottom, so landscape painters had to argue for their own respectability for generations. Abstraction is younger still: painters like Kandinsky only broke fully from depicting real objects in the early 1910s. Your team gets to skip several centuries of that argument and paint whichever one sounds fun.

Three routes. Rockoly's in-house sommelier curates the wine pairings, which run to Italian reds, a Spanish red and white, or a Mediterranean duo, and the bottles ship alongside the art supplies. If your team would rather shake something, take the cocktail route: we recommend the Magic Show kit with its Lavender Magic and Pineapple Spice drinks, and any of our other drink kits works too, in mocktail or full-strength form. Or book Just Paint and pour whatever's already in your fridge.

Something to say out loud while you swirl: almost every wine grape has clear juice, red varieties included. A red wine takes its color and its tannin from the time the juice spends soaking on the skins after crushing, not from the juice itself. That's why Champagne houses can press red Pinot Noir gently and get a pale, white sparkling wine out of it. Hold the Spanish red and the Spanish white side by side and you're looking at one decision, made at the crusher, doing all of that work.

A much lower bar to entry, and something to keep afterwards. Painting needs no kitchen, no knives, no heat and no prep, so it works for the teammate eating at their desk, the one sharing a kitchen with three housemates, and the one who has never especially enjoyed a cooking class. A live artist takes the whole group through one theme at the same pace, so nobody is ahead of anyone else.

It fits a normal meeting block too: Just Paint and the wine version run 60 minutes, the cocktail version 90. Team engagement is built into the session rather than left to the chat window, and everyone signs off with a canvas of their own. A month later a meal is a memory; the painting is still propped up on somebody's desk.

Everything but the wall you hang it on. Every version includes a live artist, a dedicated event planner, and all art supplies delivered, meaning premium canvas, professional brushes, vibrant paints, stencils and templates. Gratuities and all service fees are in the rate, customization is free, and standard shipping inside the US costs nothing.

Your planner confirms the exact figure for your headcount before you take it to finance, and nothing gets added on top afterwards.

Groups run from 3 to 600 and up. Very large teams usually get split by department or spread across a couple of days, so the artist can still see faces and use names. Nobody has to drink alcohol to enjoy this one: the cocktail kit comes in a mocktail version, Just Paint skips drink delivery altogether, and no-alcohol is one of the requests we accommodate at no extra cost when you flag it in advance, along with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and kosher.

Supplies ship to each guest's own address, so a team scattered across cities and time zones is routine rather than a complication. We run on Zoom by default and work on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and WebEx if your company standardizes on one of those. We deliver outside the US as well, including Australia, the UK, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, India and Spain, though your planner will confirm what can travel with alcohol to each address.

About three weeks is comfortable, or closer to four if you are adding wine or a cocktail kit. That gap is not padding: alcohol ships separately from the art supplies and travels under its own rules, so the drinks are always the slowest thing in the box. Rush dates are sometimes possible depending on artist availability, so ask before you rule your date out.

A $250 deposit holds it, and we take credit card, ACH bank transfer or check. Cancel 21 or more days out and you are refunded what you paid less any nonrecoverable costs already committed; 8 to 20 days out you choose between a 50% refund and a 100% Rockoly credit; inside 8 days payments are nonrefundable, though one complimentary reschedule is yours if you ask 14+ days ahead. Every event carries the Love Your Event Guarantee: your team should have an amazing experience, and if your Rockoly event doesn't live up to expectations, we'll make it right.
