Planning a mobile painting party with The Color Express means bringing the studio experience directly to your Tampa or Orlando location. Whether you’re coordinating an event for schools, camps, libraries, corporate teams, homeowners associations (HOAs), or community groups, our customized, on-the-go art parties offer convenience and creativity tailored to your unique group. Understanding our pricing and service model in advance will help you budget confidently and focus on making your event memorable.
Below, we detail how The Color Express shapes costs based on real-world factors and describe what sets us apart from traditional paint studios, with examples of our customized services throughout the Tampa Bay and Central Florida areas.
The Color Express pricing varies based on the size and needs of your group, the exact location, and the scope of supplies and staffing our mobile team brings to you.
We price primarily per guest, with discounts starting around 15 participants and scaling up for larger events. For example, a corporate team-building session for 30 in downtown Tampa will have a different price point than a smaller HOA gathering in a suburban Orlando community. Small gatherings (under 10 people) tend to have slightly higher per-person costs to cover minimum staff and materials.
Because The Color Express is fully mobile, we bring everything needed to your site—from classrooms in Hillsborough County schools to meeting rooms at Orlando public libraries. Locations within central Tampa and Orlando usually incur no extra travel fees, but venues farther into the surrounding counties or rural areas may add a small travel surcharge. Outdoor events, such as community park celebrations, are popular in summer but may require contingency plans that could influence cost.
Feel free to contact The Color Express directly for personalized advice about your venue and location to help streamline your planning.
Our all-in mobile packages include everything you need for a seamless, engaging creative experience—no extra runs to the craft store needed.
We bring high-quality acrylic paints, multiple canvas sizes, professional brushes, easels, aprons, and palettes customized to your group’s age and skill level. Whether you’re hosting a hands-on workshop for campers in Seminole County or an arts enrichment event for Tampa-area senior centers, we tailor supplies accordingly.
The Color Express provides an expert instructor who guides the group through a pre-planned art project designed for your audience. We handle setup and cleanup, so you only need to focus on enjoying the event. Our instructors are experienced working with a variety of groups—from youth art camps to corporate team-building sessions at offices in Downtown Orlando.
We offer three main package tiers designed to meet different needs and budgets while showcasing the unique flair of The Color Express experience:
Our Standard package covers essential painting supplies and professional guidance sufficient for schools and libraries hosting typical age-range groups, using solid project templates suitable for beginners and casual artists.
The Premium package steps up with finer quality materials, larger or multiple canvases, more personalized instruction time, and specialty projects—perfect for corporate team events or HOA art socials aiming for impactful, memorable creations.
Custom packages are a hallmark of The Color Express. We work closely to develop themed events that resonate deeply with your group’s interests and goals. For instance, we’ve created eco-conscious art projects for environmental camp groups in Tampa and interactive mural collaborations for Orlando nonprofit volunteers. Customization includes selecting canvas shapes, advanced brush techniques instruction, or integrating local cultural elements to make your event stand out.
We value all community types and provide discounted rates for educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and camps to support accessible arts programming across the Tampa and Orlando regions.
Larger group events at schools or corporate mixers usually benefit from scaled pricing. For example, an Orlando library hosting a 25-person workshop will receive a better per-person rate than smaller sessions. We encourage requesting specific quotes for your group size early in the planning.
