Paint Monkey

09/13/2026

We’re getting closer to our night at City Winery, and we’re excited to finally show you what we’ll be painting!

Join us on Friday, October 16 from 7–9 PM at City Winery in the Strip District as we put our own Paint Monkey spin on Van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers.

Whether you’re an old Paint Monkey friend or painting with us for the first time, come ready for a fun, relaxed evening of painting, catching up and, of course, a little wine!

Your ticket includes all painting supplies and a complimentary glass of wine. 🍷

We’ve missed painting with all of you, and we can’t wait to pick up our brushes and do it again.

Grab a friend and come paint Van Gogh with us!

Friday, October 16 | 7–9 PM
City Winery • The Strip District

Paint Monkey is back — and we’d love to see you there!

We come and paint every year at the Duquesne University freshman orientation. This was our 10th year! We had so much fun with this group - we painted “Pittsburgh Pierogi.” So many of them did their own thing. So many creative newbies. Hope they all have a great year and enjoy Pittsburgh.

It’s been a few weeks since we had our last day in our studio. We’ve taken a little time to catch our breath - there was so much to do to pack up nearly 15 years of memories. Wanted to post pics of all of our wonderful Paint Monkeys who came those last days to wish us well. It was a who’s who of our favorite people. We really felt the love.

Stay tuned for what’s next. We have some exciting things on the horizon.

Our very last Summer Art Camp at Paint Monkey ended today. Each of these girls are so creative and talented. Look closely at all the wonderful paintings (that they drew themselves) and projects. They’ve all been coming to Paint Monkey for years, so today was a little sad for them. Bittersweet for all of us. A great big thank you to our own Miss Jesse who inspired and did everything to encourage the kids. She got their creative juices going and got them on the path to creating their own art. A good habit to have!

This past week, we had a very successful Summer Art Camps lead by our own Miss Jesse. We had an all star line up of our long time Paint Monkey kids. There was painting, drawing and lots of special projects!

Paint Monkey memories. Joe & I feel very privileged that we’ve had some amazing people work for us over the years. This is an especially special memory when we brought everyone to a pottery studio in Millvale for our Christmas party. Creative people creating, laughing, eating pizza and having fun. I love them all, even though we don’t see everyone so much. This is a period of time (probably 2017 or 2018) Joe and I will always cherish.
