A sample two-hour party in Tampa

A Thursday, 1:30 to 3:30 pm, 45 guests. An afternoon party built around one picture: the whole room paints the same guided scene, the canvases line up for a team photo, and Pinellas commuters reach the bridges ahead of the worst of the evening rush.

  1. Before 1:30

    Easels and a long drying table

    The host sets up easels, canvas boards and aprons, and clears a long table along one wall for the finished canvases. You provide water access and trash cans.

  2. 1:30 pm

    Canvas Painting

    The host guides the whole room through one acrylic painting on 12 x 16 inch canvas boards. Same scene, 45 versions, and no two come out alike.

  3. 2:30 pm

    The canvas line-up

    Paintings go up in a row on the drying table and someone takes the team photo, while the seats switch to watercolor paper.

  4. 2:35 pm

    Watercolor Card Decorating

    A set of four cards with the host guiding the techniques. Swap one with someone from the other side of the bay.

  5. 3:35 pm

    Over the bridge

    St. Pete and Clearwater people head for the Howard Frankland or the Courtney Campbell, canvases flat on the back seat after an hour on the drying table.

At 45 guests: Canvas Painting $3,225 + Watercolor Card Decorating $3,090 = $6,315 at list prices.

Planning a December party in Tampa

Whether your team sits Downtown, in Westshore, the Channel District or across the bay in St. Pete or Clearwater, these are the Tampa Bay details that shape a December party.

  1. Two sides of the bay

    Plenty of Tampa Bay companies have staff in both Tampa and Pinellas, and three bridges carry them across Old Tampa Bay: the Howard Frankland, the Gandy and the Courtney Campbell. A single crash can back one up for miles, so host on the side where most people sit and end before the evening rush.

  2. Westshore at rush hour

    Westshore sits where I‑275 meets SR‑60 and the roads to the airport, and that interchange is slow at both rush hours. Give guests driving over from Downtown or Brandon extra time, and tell them which garage to use.

  3. Patio weather, studio indoors

    December in Tampa is dry and mild, so a Riverwalk stroll or a patio lunch sounds better than a conference room. Do that after: acrylic in direct sun dries too fast to blend, and the host wants a sink a few steps away, not across a parking lot.

  4. Lightning nights by the Channel District

    The Lightning play at the arena at the edge of Downtown, by the Channel District, and December brings plenty of home games. On a game night, garages around the arena and the Channel District fill early, one more reason this party ends at 3:30.

Tampa holiday party questions

How much does office holiday party entertainment cost in Tampa?

Canvas Painting is $55 a person plus a $750 base fee. Watercolor Card Decorating is $52 a person plus a $750 base fee. That covers the host and every painting supply. Food, drinks and the room are yours to arrange.

How far ahead should we book a December holiday party in Tampa?

Book painting workshops at least 3 weeks ahead; custom branding needs 4 weeks. For Thursday, Dec 17, that means booking by Nov 26. If your date is sooner than that, ask us; we confirm what we can run in your plan.

Do you come to offices in St. Petersburg, Clearwater or Brandon?

Our hosts travel to offices and venues in the Tampa Bay area. Send the address with your date and we confirm coverage for addresses outside the city, like St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon or Wesley Chapel, when we send your plan.

Can our whole team paint the same picture?

Yes. Canvas Painting is guided, so the host walks the whole room through one painting together, step by step. Everyone starts from the same scene and every canvas still comes out a little different, which makes a good team photo when you line them up at the end.

What do we need to provide for a party at our office?

A room with tables and chairs, water access and trash cans. We bring the host and every painting supply, and we handle setup and cleanup.

What if more people show up than we planned for?

Give us your best headcount estimate; we use it to plan hosts and support. We can take extra guests on the day, and if attendance is well over your estimate we invoice the difference.

Can remote employees join the party?

The in-person formats are built for people in the room. For remote staff, book a virtual holiday party on Zoom (Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request) on another day, or run one for the whole company.

Can we add holiday gifts for the team?

Yes. Pair the party with corporate holiday gifts shipped to each person, which also covers anyone who can't make it to the office that day.
