Corporate Art Events · Los Angeles
Team building that doesn't feel like team building.
Mobile painting workshops, collaborative murals, and creative offsites for LA companies. Hosted at your office, a venue of your choice, or a private residence. Led by Elena Marmol — a fine artist with a Master's in Art Education.
Why art (for teams that hate trust falls)
Most team-building activities are either too cheesy (escape rooms, trust falls) or too logistically heavy (full-day offsites). Art workshops hit a sweet spot:
- 2 hours, low logistics — at your office or a single venue
- Genuinely calming — painting drops everyone's stress level within 20 minutes
- Cross-hierarchy — interns and VPs are equally bad at painting at hour zero, and equally good by hour two
- Photo-worthy — your team gets actual content for company social
- Take-home — everyone leaves with something they made
Event formats
Guided Group Painting
2 hours · 8–30 people
Best for offsites, milestone celebrations, casual all-hands
Step-by-step painting led by Elena. Everyone paints the same piece (with personal variations). Structured, low-pressure, and the most popular format.
Watercolor Workshop
2 hours · 8–20 people
Best for executive offsites, leadership events, calmer groups
A more contemplative format. Watercolor technique demo plus small finished pieces. Quieter energy than acrylic painting — great for groups that want a calmer experience.
Collaborative Mural
2–3 hours · Up to 50 people
Best for company values exercises, all-hands events, office decor
The team co-creates a single large piece — typically tied to a company theme, mission, or value. The finished mural lives in your office. Strong for cultural moments.
Custom Workshop
Variable · Tailored format
Best for retreats, leadership offsites, brand activations
Designed around your specific goal. Could be portrait drawing for an empathy workshop, abstract painting for a creativity session, or a full-day intensive for an offsite.

What people say
“Hosted Elena for our team offsite — fourteen people, two hours, painting workshop. Everyone was skeptical going in (engineers don't paint) and by the end they were comparing techniques. Best team event we've done all year.”
“Best decision I made for my daughter's 7th birthday. Elena set up in our backyard — drop cloths, apron-tying, the whole thing — and ten girls sat down and actually painted for ninety minutes straight. Real instruction, not a craft. Three of the moms texted me afterwards asking for her info.”
“We did the Sensory Fun theme for the twins' 4th and I genuinely don't know how Elena kept eight four-year-olds focused that long. They came home with framed paintings and not a single meltdown.”
