Creative Connection

By Muse Paintbar | May 30, 2025

Looking to level up your next hangout with friends? Swap your usual bar night for something more engaging, interactive, and genuinely memorable. Group painting activities are growing in popularity among adults — and it’s easy to see why.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush since elementary school, painting together is a fun, judgment-free way to connect, laugh, and create something meaningful with your friends. It’s the perfect change of pace for groups who want to try something new without sacrificing good vibes (or wine).

Great Group Painting Activities for Adults

At Muse Paintbar, we believe that art should be approachable, fun, and shared — especially with the people you enjoy most. We offer a variety of painting activities for adults, with options that suit different group sizes, preferences, and vibes. No experience needed — just a willingness to try something creative and have a great time.

Group Paint & Sip Events

If you’re looking for a fun, low-pressure night out with friends, our classic Paint & Sip events are always a hit. You and your group can join a public painting class where an instructor guides you step-by-step through a featured artwork — all while sipping wine, beer, or your favorite beverage. It’s the perfect mix of art, laughs, and relaxation.

Birthday Painting Parties

Got a birthday coming up? A painting group activity is a unique and fun way to celebrate. Muse offers private birthday paint parties tailored for adults, with options to customize your event, choose the painting, and make it a day your creative friend will never forget.

DIY Paint & Sip Parties

Prefer to host your own night in? Muse also offers DIY Paint & Sip Kits so you can bring the painting experience home. These kits come with everything you need — canvas, paint, brushes, and access to video instruction. Perfect for friend groups who want to pause for dinner, games, or a dance break in between brushstrokes.

Outdoor Group Painting

Take your DIY kit outside for a refreshing twist. Whether it’s a backyard get-together, beach outing, or park picnic, painting in nature can spark new inspiration and create a relaxed, peaceful vibe. It’s a great way to enjoy warm weather while doing something artistic and out-of-the-box.

Couple’s Painting Events

For groups made up of couples, Muse’s Couple’s Art Nights are a romantic, playful option. These events let partners work on side-by-side canvases that come together as one final image. It’s intimate, fun, and still social — the best of both worlds. A great alternative for double-date night or a group of couples looking to bond in a creative setting.

Benefits of Group Painting Events for Adults

Beyond the fun, painting group activities have some surprising perks. They encourage connection, creativity, and collaboration — all while giving you something to take home and remember the experience by.

Stress Relief
Painting is incredibly therapeutic. It allows you to slow down, focus on the moment, and let go of the stress from work, life, or your overflowing inbox. With music, good company, and a glass of wine, it’s a full-on reset.
Outlet for Expressing Creativity
Let’s face it — adult life rarely makes room for creativity. Group painting events offer a judgment-free space to play with color, experiment with design, and express yourself in a fun, low-stakes environment.
Socialization & Bonding
Trying something new together is a great way to strengthen friendships. You’ll bond over color choices, laugh at your artistic “mistakes,” and maybe even discover shared creative interests. These events often spark new traditions and inside jokes that last well beyond the canvas.
Change of Pace from Normal Group Hangouts
Tired of the same old dinner-and-drinks routine? A painting group activity breaks the mold and gives your friend group something new and exciting to look forward to. It brings people together in a more intentional, interactive way — and you leave with a painting and a memory.
