FAQ
Who is this experience for?
This is designed exclusively for private groups—perfect for companies, creative teams, birthdays, or anyone looking to level up their gathering with a unique, hands-on art adventure.
How many people can join?
The sweet spot is 10 to 30 guests. If your group is outside that range, just reach out—we will be able to customize something just for you.
Do we need any art experience?
Not at all. This experience is built for every skill level—from total beginners to seasoned creatives. No pressure, no judgment—just fun, paint, and good vibes.
Where does it start and end?
We’ll pick you up anywhere in St. Pete. The tour ends at Overspray Art Space, then we’ll bring you back to your original location (or wherever the party goes next). Pickups outside St. Pete are available with an additional fee.
Can we bring our own drinks or food?
Absolutely. This is a BYOB experience—and we can also help coordinate light catering or snacks to keep the party flowing from the trolley to the wall.
What should we wear?
Dress for a creative mess! We’ll provide gloves and masks, but we recommend clothing you won’t mind getting a little paint on. You’ll be working with real spray paint on real walls.
