About Our Mission

Gosh!   I've hosted many parties when my kids were little...from costume parties to pool parties to barbeques!  Planning, buying, cooking, and decorating were all so much to think about...and then we had to entertain the kids!   And believe me...I know how difficult it is to keep kids busy and out of mischief!   So as a parent, teacher, and an artist I came up with the idea of Petit Picasso - Canvas Celebrations.   It gives you a chance provide an artistic experience to your child's special day, and it allows you to enjoy your child's birthday party while taking the stress and hassle out of it most of it!   All kids love art, especially painting!   Petit Picasso is a different kind of birthday experience...a celebration in art!

What our parties offer......

​

  • An educational lesson on one of the masters or a themed design

  • An art lesson for participants to reproduce a masterpiece

  • A unique party experience for young people and adults

  • A product that is tangible...painters take their work (party favor) with them to enjoy for years to come!

​
Petit Picasso offers standard packages to suit the age of your child and his/her friends, but we can also tailor the painting experience to your child's favorite things.  For example, if you are doing a "princess" or a "pirate" party, the painting experience can match the theme of the event.   You pick the package, we do the rest!    Adult parties can be tailored to meet the level and interests of your guests!   Call for details.
