Creativita

Wonderful girls night! There were 5 of us with groupons.
We checked the website and picked a night, emailed the owner with our groupon numbers, who confirmed our time slot and appointment/​reservation.
The owner and her assistant were super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. They showed us step by step how to paint (none of my girls or I are artsy fartsy. Ha) both women also walked around assisting us who struggled. Everything was provided; canvas, paint, wine glasses, aprons, music, etc.
BYOB was great; although every other party seemed to be drinking wine. We were drinking whiskey and beer out of wine glasses — but still felt classy.
All in all; awesome concept — really cool smaller art studio on Madison Street, in the middle of plenty bars. Our paintings came out decent, even though after 3 hours — us 5 girls were pretty lit.
I can’t wait to return, possibly for a date night. The room was majority women and only 2 men. Highly recommend Creativita, amazing time!

I loved this fun girls night out. I would actually go back with just one friend or maybe even the hubby.
Jessica is a gracious host — she makes everyone feel welcome and encourages wine and spirits and fun and chatter and is very pleasant. She takes her time to show you how to start your project and gives pointers along the way, if you ask. She has several parties at once, she will set up your table for as many people as are attending in your group. Our BYOB class was from 9p-​12a. She takes her time to come around and assist where need be, she looks over the picture you’ve chosen to paint and will gather your palette with all the colors you would need. She provides brushes and smocks and cups of water, and will replenish if need be throughout the night. She also has bottle openers, and wine glasses and leaves space on your table for snacks and drinks that you bring with you.
We had three hours, but easily I think we could have hung out for another couple hours it was that fun. I can’t wait to go back.

I booked a private party on a Friday night from 9pm to 12am with less than a week to plan the birthday party. I called several places before reaching out to Creativita, and each place was booked during the 6pm-​11pm time frame. *This is the most popular time for parties*.
Jessica, who is the owner, was able to accommodate my request. I had to put down a $ 100 deposit for the party, with a 10 person minimum.
She very responsive when I emailed her concerning logistics, food, and space available for room decorations. Her studio is perfect for a 10 — 15 people private party. She has many paintings to choose from, and we choose the «Medusa» painting. (Each person can also create a different piece of art). Jessica and her staff are genuinely nice and it made it a great experience.
I arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled time to decorate the room and their were 3 parties finishing up. I did not mind at first, but when the last party left close to 9pm, I couldn’t concentrate on setting up the decorations. We didn’t have much décor to set up because the studio is so vibrant and really, it doesn’t need decorations. We had a tutu themed party, so we wanted to make sure the room gave off that vibe. (Now looking back, I should’ve asked Jessica to wear a tutu!)
Jessica was attentive — our cups of water were always clean and our paint was well stocked. Also, so gracious and patient with us; we actually left the studio around 12:35am and she did not kick us out or charge us for the extra time our party was in there taking pictures and wrapping up our food items.
The only suggestion I have for the studio space is having a kitchen sink where parties can clean up their dishes, sliver wear, or any items they brought from home. I had brought a chocolate fountain for the party and it was very difficult to clean inside the restroom sink. What I absolutely looked about Creativita is the location, perfect downtown area where you can walk around after or before your class/​party. We definitely will be coming back. I am looking forward to a brunch BYOB party next!

I bought a Livingsocial deal for this place, and I’m so glad I did! My boyfriend and I loved our experience. We brought wine, got to choose our own painting, and the music selection was great! Jessica is great at explaining every step of the process, and she is a wonderful teacher. I have very little painting skills, and mine turned out great! Definitely a fun date or trip out with the girls/​family. It took the whole 3 hours, too!

I was in town visiting my family, My friend and I had a great time! First time on a canvas like that it was intimidating ! Thankful to
the teacher was so friendly, patient and helpful! I like we can byob. Next tine I will definitely do that! Love it! Need it Want it!

Had a great experience, our instructor andria, was very helpful, gave helpful suggestions, and was very encouraging. The atmosphere was fun, especially the painted comments in the bathroom. Andria let us pick the paintings we wanted to recreate, and always made sure we had the necessary supplies. Our group had a great time and will definitely go back.

This was really a fun place for a date! We have done this painting a number of times and really enjoyed the variety at this location. Instead of painting a canvas we painted cement tombstones. The atmosphere was relaxed and calming!!!

My wife and I went for Date night and had such a wonderful evening. I had never painted before so I was a little nervous. I was surprised at how well my Chicago skyline turned out. So much fun.
