Your people. Your vibe. Your event.

A Private Group Event is a one-of-a-kind experience that YOU create with Marianne. No cookie-cutter parties. No boring team events. Just real creativity, real laughter, and a WOW factor that has your guests talking about it long after it's over. You pick the group. We plan together a theme, goal, or outcome you want to create.

Marianne handles everything else.

Here’s how it works.

What MARIANNE does…

Consults with you on your vision, plans the entire event, brings all supplies, facilitates the fun.


What YOU do…

Show up with your people and enjoy it.

You'll be high-fiving by the end.

  • Funky bright pink background from Another Time

    Warm and welcoming

    I organized an afternoon of self-care, and Marianne facilitated a creative area, bringing her own tables and materials. The space she created was warm and welcoming. The guests felt comfortable and relaxed as they began their projects. It was inspiring. I high recommend Marianne for her art and her ablity to inspire that creativity in others.

    Meeting people where they are at

    "Her curiosity and open-minded approach enables her to meet a person in the important realm of exploration, providing support, encouragement, and validation as a person learns to express their personal dialect of creativity. "

    ~Sally, friend and fellow creative

    Event satisfaction!

    "No experience in any form of creative expression is necessary to have a good time working on an art project with Marianne! From newbie to experienced artist Marianne will curate a terrific event that will satisfy all participants."

    ~Molly, friend and coaching client

Your questions, answered!

  • A private group creative event is a fully customized, hands-on art experience designed just for your group. Marianne handles everything — the concept, supplies, facilitation, and fun. You just show up and create together.

    Can’t get much easier than that!

  • You name it!

    Book clubs, girls' weekends, birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, divorce parties, work teams — basically any group of individuals who want to laugh, create, and actually enjoy each other. If you've got people, this is your event.

  • Start with a free consultation call. Tell Marianne who your people are and what kind of experience you're imagining — she listens, then handles everything from there.

    Seriously, that's it.

  • Pricing depends on your group size, location, and how long you want to play — no surprises though. Book a free call and you'll get a clear picture of what works for your group and your budget.

When you bring your friends, family, team, or organization, the experience does more than just make something beautiful. Participants move through creative tension together — the discomfort of not knowing and the surprise of what emerges.

And great outcomes DO emerge from making art together. Science backs this up — research on art and the brain confirms that creative experiences measurably improve how people connect, communicate, and feel.

  • Improved communication and collaboration

  • Morale — let's just feel good for a change!

  • Engaged participation — seriously, it's hard not to get your hands busy!

That shared, facilitated process builds trust, loosens assumptions, and creates the kind of connection that ordinary shared time rarely creates on its own.

Marianne brings 25 years of facilitation, organizational development, and curriculum design to every session. Your people show up. Something shifts. They remember it.

Your event will have everyone asking "when's the next one?"
