Nashville, Tennessee
Experience Nashville Through the Eyes of an Artist
A fully hosted creative experience for corporate groups, conferences, and private gatherings in Nashville, led by professional artist Valerie McKeehan.
You're in Good Company
Valerie McKeehan has built a national art career since 2012, with brand collaborations and press features across print, television, and digital.
What It Is
Nashville Has No Shortage of Group Activities
Most of them are loud.
After a full day of sessions and networking, another high-energy outing is rarely what a group needs. This is the opposite. For a little while, guests step away from screens and schedules and into the tactile pleasure of making something with their own hands.
Guided by Nashville artist Valerie McKeehan, guests work in soft pastel to create their own interpretation of a landscape inspired by Tennessee’s rolling hills, wildflowers, and luminous skies.
Relaxed, accessible, and designed for everyone, the experience encourages individual expression rather than a single “right” result. Guests settle in, play with color, and often surprise themselves with what they create.
Why It's Different
An Art Experience, Elevated.
Led by a working professional artist
Valerie has built a national art career since 2012, with clients including Starbucks, Anthropologie, Food Network, and TLC. This is not a franchise instructor following a template.
Genuine artist materials
Completely hosted
Every detail, from setup through cleanup, is prepared and managed by our team so planners and guests can simply arrive and enjoy.
Beautiful. Effortless. Fully hosted.
What They Take Home
More Than a Souvenir
Every guest leaves with an original Tennessee landscape created by their own hand, along with the artist materials they used to make it.
It becomes a tangible memory of their time in Nashville and an invitation to keep creating long after they return home.
A piece of Tennessee they didn’t buy. They made it.
What Guests Are Saying
“Your pastel class was, without question, my favorite moment of the retreat. I truly mean that. I find myself thinking about that afternoon often. There was something so magical and peaceful about sitting and just creating. It’s an experience that stays with you.”
