About Painting Friends
Painting Friends was created to bring together friends from the East Valley of the Phoenix Area (Tempe, Mesa, Chandler + Gilbert) who share a curiosity about creativity, art, having fun, and making new friendships.
It’s FUN art, not fine art.
Even if (especially if) you’re a beginner, join us for creative and low pressure gatherings where we explore various techniques, create personal works of art, and enjoy our host location’s coffee or happy hour drinks (and sometimes bring our own)!
Let’s form lasting connections while painting, chatting, sipping, and experimenting with our creativity.
Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your friendships and experiment with your artistic side.
Looking forward to meeting you and getting creative with you!
