Island Art Party

FUN FUN FUN !!! We have been several times and it is always a great time ! We painted a duo art piece that turned out so cool I hung it in our house ;) You don’t have to be a talented painter the instructor walks you thru the steps and you have so much fun along the way to creating your own masterpiece ! Its a party atmosphere great for couples or groups. They do a 4^th Friday night that always sells out. You can’t go wrong its a blast …

Srsly, why would couple of grown ass men want to DRAW? This idea sounded so stupid when my friend suggested so I had to give it a try.
To my surprise, it was a lot of fun! I was actually thing I’ll be drawing in Jackson Pollocks style with the boozes they serve. But we actually go so into it, not body was really drinking… LOL.
Very fun, very friendly environment.
Price is not cheap, and it’s well worth it. Especially we have Kamaaina Discounts, and they have various specials.
Be sure to check it out if you’re ever in Maui!

Had a great time! Patient instructor, fun music, nice variety at the bar… good times all around!

While staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani, my family and I were introduced to Island Art Party when they set up a painting party on site. We are a group of two 19 year olds, one 50 year old and one 77 year old and it’s tough to say who enjoyed it the most as we ALL had a great time! Loved the ladies who taught and assisted us, they made it fun and easy to do. All supplies were provided and we enjoyed the music that accompanied our painting. Will definitely plan a visit to their shop for another art party next year when we visit Maui!

We had so much fun at our Island Art party GNO!
IAP is a really fun place to get together, have a good time and let your creative side come to life. I gathered up a few friends and we decided to go in for the launch of surfboard painting session. We were pretty pumped… I was a little nervous because I’m kind of a terrible painter… but I was assured that it didn’t matter.
There is plenty of parking in the Azeka shopping center where IAP is located. The store is lit up bright with a sign out front welcoming the guests in. We checked in (I called and reserved our spots a few weeks prior) and we were shown where our spots were. They had our names written on the back of the plate that sat on our easel. The music was playing and there was such a FUN vibe! The walls are covered in art work from other guests. It’s really fun to look at and get inspired.
Once everyone was there and the clock struck 7, it was time to get the party started. The owners introduced themselves and told us a little about about how it was going to work. We all got up and got the amount of paint that was required, a paint apron and took a look at the finished surfboard that was on the stage.
The instructors walked us through each step and assured us that each piece was going to look a little different due to all of our uniqueness. And also, to stop, take a step back and look at the painting from a distance – super helpful info.
There are drinks available for purchase and complimentary popcorn popping all evening.
If you are looking for a FUN place to for GNO, date night, or just a chance to paint in peace, go check this place out! Head over to their website and check out all of the different things to paint!

I’ve always wondered how the art parties worked & loved getting to experience it for myself. My friends and I were abke to be oart of the inaugural «surfboard» art painting, so that was fun! If you’re looking for a fun girls night out or even a date night idea, Island Art Party is a neat way to spend time together. The instructors were encouraging & the atmosphere was relaxed. I would definitely do it again.

Fun! Fun! Fun! I am no artist, and would have never thought I could paint something to save my life, but IAP changed that for me. I went with a friend because who can turn down a night out without the kids and cocktails, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is fun, and the workers are so welcoming and friendly as soon as you walk in the door. We got our cocktail, chose our spot, and sat down not knowing what to expect. Before we knew it the night had flown by as we painted, danced to fun music, and laughed with our fellow painters. We came away with some amazing pieces of our own hand made art for our walls, and a new love of painting. I have since been back and each time is better than the last. Perfect for groups, date night, or time with friends! They also have Kama’aina.

This was my second time here. Last time I did the «Rainbow Eucalyptus» and this past time was «Under the Sea»… Oh, it was so much fun. Loved the instructor and loved the FUN TIME!!! Planning on going back to do «Lavender Fields» and maybe «Paris»…

Twice now, I have taken my guests and family to paint on a Thursday night, only to find that they were closed. No note on the door. No note on the website. Don’t plan on doing an impromptu show up to paint there, because chances are they will be closed when they otherwise advertise to be open.
One night I was there to paint with two friends (both locals) and some of the other people coming were running late. They chose to hold up the whole class and wait for these people. Bad business. Really? Not too happy with this business. It is unfortunate because they have a great idea and a fun product. However, they seem to be lacking in customer service and reliable hours.

Cool place with super friendly and fun staff. Definitely a fun activity for individuals or groups.

Lovelovelove this place! They allow you to be as creative as you want to me (or not)! Over time, my friends and I have become regulars here an look forward to the new paintings. You should bring your friend and be prepared to dance and paint together; you’ll be pleasantly surprised by your creation!

My mom’s a professional artist, and I’m… Not. This class was so fun and helped bridge the gap between her talent level and mine. The instructor, Clover, was so rad. Super informative, upbeat, lighthearted… Kind of like a wonderful kindergarten teacher who encouraged you to sip some wine! Loved every minute of it! Would totally come back, anytime I am on the island!

Had a great time with my family. The instructor was great. Never painted before. My turtle actually looks like a turtle.
Had lots of fun. Would definitely do it again.

I could try my best but I am not artistic at all. I never got farther in art class than drawing a stick figure! My friends invited me to the Art Party so I went knowing what a disastrous and horrible artwork I would produce.
I had the best time ever AND my art piece turned out great! You can not miss this opportunity! The crew is super friendly, supportive, the music is awesome! They go step by step so you can easily follow and help you if you get stuck. You can also purchase alcoholic as well as nonalcoholic beverages. You can have your private party there too. I can’t wait to go back! FREE unlimited popcorn is included!

I have gone several times to enjoy the fun of island art party. If you’re visiting Maui or live here like I do, there are few things that compare to the fun.
I had not painted before, and with the guide acne of their entertaining staff I have created things I’m proud to hang in my living room.
If you’re coming to Maui reserve your hotel, buy the plane ticket and call these people to reserve your seat. Everything else just play by ear!

What a wonderful place to go and have fun and do some creative painting. I enjoyed painting very much and everyone had their own creative painting. Relaxing, music great, instructor wonderful. I would definitely do it again!!! Island art is relaxing and a great place to just have fun!

This is about as much fun as you can have! NO talent required. Alma reassured me I could create a work of art. As intimidated as I was, it turned out awesome and I am so proud of it. Everyone works from her lead but you create your own from that. BEST deal ever. Get a bunch of friends together and go. They even have a bar so you can loosen up that hidden talent. It’s a Party at Island Art Party! Call for info as it relates to kids.

This place is a blast!!!
I coordinated a small get-​together with 6 friends /​business associates.
It’s centrally located in Kihei with easy parking.
Curt (the Owner) and Brooke (the Art Instructor) were happy, patient and knowledgeable. They have a full bar, good tunes and free popcorn.
My boyfriend and I ended up painting 2 paintings that go together as one painting.
We had so much fun and will definitely go again!

My wife and I have lived in Maui for 5 years. We’ve all most or all of the touristy things. Let me tell you. In 5 years, we’ve never had as much fun as we did last night at Island Art Party. $ 40???
You can’t get anything in Maui for $ 40
Heck… 8 good mangos will run you more than that.
My wife and I are going back next week. The people are FABULOUS. They undertand customer service and the spirit of Aloha. Alma and Curt are REALLY on to something. They are great and their staff is a reflection of their Aloha spirit.
I spent the morning and Sbux trying to get all of my friends to patronize this business.
ISLAND ART PARTY IS THE BEST!!!

Our time at Island Art Party was straight up AMAZIIING!
Our group was on a double date. My friend and I were super excited from the beginning, and the boys were skeptical initially, but even they got really into their painting and had tons of fun! The owners were very warm and welcoming and our instructor, Brooke, kept the mood upbeat and taught us different methods of painting to find out what works for our individual styles. This definitely helped everyone from the beginners to the more experienced painters and everyone was super encouraging to add our own flair to our paintings.
There’s a good variety of drinks offered at the bar as well. We were having so much fun, we didn’t even notice we’ve had two bottles of wine plus some cocktails in between! The painting class was super chill, and the 3 hours goes by so fast, and before you know it, you have a personal masterpiece and a great memory.
I think Island Art Party is a great addition not just to Maui’s economy, but also its local art scene. I look forward to seeing this business thrive and provide both tourists and locals alike a really good time.
I am already concocting a plan in my head to bring all our couple friends in! So excited!
Once again, much mahalo to Alma, Curt, and Brook for making our time at Island Art Party absolutely fabulous!
