​Come paint with us in the park!

​Paint in the Park is a collaborative painting afternoon presented by Read in the Park, bringing people together around a shared creative activity.

​🎨 How this event will go

​We'll start with a painting prompt for the afternoon, something broad and open to interpretation, like “What is your happy place?” Everyone can take the prompt wherever their imagination goes, and we'll come together afterward to talk about what we created.

​Don't want to follow the prompt? That's completely fine. You're welcome to paint whatever you want alongside us instead.

​There is no instructor, no right way to paint, and no painting experience needed. The idea is simply to spend some time creating together, with music in the background and good company around you.

​🎨 How the afternoon goes

​2:00–2:30 pm → Arrive, check in, and settle in
2:30–2:45 pm → Painting prompt + intro
2:45–4:00 pm → Paint together
4:00–4:30 pm → Conversations + wrap up

​🎨 Your ticket includes

​This is a $12 ticketed event and we'll provide the painting materials you need:

​→ Canvas
→ Paint palette
→ Acrylic paints
→ Brushes and shared painting supplies

​We're keeping the event small with 20 attendee spots so we can prepare materials for everyone.

​🎟️ Registration + refunds

​One registration is for one person only. If you're bringing a friend, please have them register for their own spot.

​Because we're purchasing materials based on registrations, tickets become non-refundable 3 days before the event. Refund requests can be made up until that deadline.

​If your plans change after the refund deadline, please still update your RSVP so the hosts know you won't be attending.

​🎨 What to bring

​→ A blanket or something to sit on
→ Layers for the weather
→ Water or a snack
→ Clothes you don't mind potentially getting a little paint on

​🎨 A note on photos

​We may take a few photos and short clips for social. By attending you consent to being photographed but if you'd rather not be, just let us know when you arrive and we'll keep you out of frame.

​📚 About Read in the Park

​Paint in the Park is presented by Read in the Park, a Bay Area reading community that meets twice a month to read our own books together in the park. Every once in a while, we also try a new hobby together or go on a community side quest around the Bay Area.

​Come solo or bring a friend. Plenty of people show up by themselves.

​See you in the Park.
