Summer Paint & Sip Fun for the Whole Family!

As the summer sun shines over Southern California, parents and guardians often find themselves searching for fun summer activities for kids. After all, keeping children entertained and engaged during their break from school can be a challenge. If you’re in the Ontario or Inland Empire area, look no further than Purple Easel, the perfect destination for a creative getaway that the whole family can enjoy.

Purple Easel is not just another day stuck inside the house. It’s a vibrant, stimulating activity that gets kids out of their usual routines and into a world of creativity. Our paint and sip studio offers an escape from the monotony of screen time and video games, providing kids with an opportunity to express themselves artistically. Whether it’s a rainy day or the perfect sunny afternoon, our studio is ready to welcome young artists of all ages.

A Memory of a Lifetime

Painting at Purple Easel isn’t just about creating art; it’s about making memories. Imagine your child’s delight as they reunite with friends over summer break, each with a brush in hand, ready to create a masterpiece. Our studio offers kids events every single day, ensuring there’s always a chance to make new memories and cherish old friendships.

A Creative Experience for All Ages

Both younger kiddos and teenagers alike find joy in our events, as well as parents! Many parents find that they enjoy painting just as much as their children do. In fact, our Ontario paint studio is the ideal spot for family bonding, where everyone can unleash their inner artist in a supportive environment.

What Makes Purple Easel Stand Out?

  • Convenient Schedule: With kids events happening every single day, you’re sure to find a time that fits your busy summer schedule.
  • BYOB for Adults: While the kiddos sip on their favorite juice, parents can bring along their favorite alcoholic beverages to enjoy a mini getaway during the afternoon.
  • Fun for the Whole Family: Our events cater to all ages, making it a perfect family outing.
  • Top-Quality Materials: We utilize the best acrylics money can buy, ensuring that your artwork is as vibrant as your memories.

How Can Painting Benefit Your Child?

Parents often wonder, “What are the benefits of painting for my child?” Painting is not only fun, but it also enhances fine motor skills, encourages creativity, and boosts confidence. It’s a chance for children to express their emotions and thoughts in a non-verbal way, all while having a blast.

What to Bring to a Purple Easel Event

We encourage families to bring snacks and juices for the kids, and if you’re a parent looking to unwind, feel free to bring along your favorite bottle of wine or beer. It’s all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where both kids and adults can have fun.

Why Purple Easel is a Must-Visit in Ontario, CA

Located conveniently in Ontario, California, our studio is the largest of its kind in the greater Inland Empire. With two spacious event rooms, we can accommodate up to 80 painters in one and 36 in another, making it perfect for both intimate gatherings and larger groups.

Frequently Asked Question: Is Purple Easel Suitable for My Child?

Absolutely! Our events are designed to cater to a wide range of ages and skill levels. Whether your child is a budding artist or just looking to try something new, they’ll find joy and fulfillment in our creative experiences.
