Asbury Park, NJ 07712Looking for a date night that’s a little different? Paint Your Partner is creative, playful, and often hilariously heartwarming. You and your partner will each paint a portrait of the person sitting across from you—no perfection required, just presence and a sense of humor.
Using acrylic paint on canvas, you’ll do your best to capture the essence of your partner (not necessarily a perfect likeness). The highlight of the night is the big reveal, when everyone shares their portraits—and a few laughs.***
### What to Expect
- A relaxed, guided creative experience
- Acrylic paint on canvas (all materials provided)
- A finished portrait to take home
- Lots of laughs and a lasting memory
***
### What to Bring
Bring your favorite drink, settle in, and embrace the silliness. Whether your masterpiece is sweet, abstract, or wildly expressive—it’s all part of the fun.
