Your group. Your playlist. Your painting. Your private event.

Looking for something a little different for your next celebration, work event or get-together?

At Acres of Art, you can bring your group together for a relaxed and creative experience in our private farm studio in Pakenham.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a hens party, organising a team-building activity or simply getting your favourite people together, we'll take care of the painting while you enjoy the experience.

Cost from $50 per painter

🎨 No painting experience needed

I'll guide you step-by-step through your painting, so there's no need to be "artistic" or know how to paint.

You'll have everything you need — canvas, paints, brushes, apron and all art materials — and you'll take your finished artwork home at the end.

🌿 Your own private farm studio

Our rustic studio sits on our working farm in Pakenham, surrounded by open space and country views.

It's a relaxed setting where you can bring your own drinks and nibbles, play your own music and enjoy time together away from the usual hustle and bustle.

🥂 BYO drinks & nibbles

Bring your favourite drinks, snacks, grazing boxes or even arrange food delivery.

We provide the glasses, bottle openers, plates and plenty of space to enjoy your food and drinks while you paint.
