01

Corporate Team Building in Nashville

The Feel

Team-first and completely screen-free. Guests step away from the agenda and into something tactile, and they end up talking to each other differently than any structured exercise produces.

What's Included

Professional soft pastels, quality paper, and a curated palette for every guest, led start to finish by Valerie. Guests keep their finished landscape and the full set of materials.

How It Works

We set up at your hotel, convention center, or venue before guests arrive. Setup through cleanup is handled entirely by our team.

Duration

90 minutes to a half day, scaled to your agenda.

02

Conference and Offsite Activities

The Feel

A restorative break in a full agenda. Calm, tactile, and engaging, it gives guests a chance to step away from screens and conversation, settle into color, and simply enjoy making something with their hands.

What's Included

Beautifully prepared materials for every guest, complete hosting from setup to cleanup, and an original Tennessee landscape each person takes home, along with the soft pastels they used to create it.

How It Works

Designed to fit seamlessly into your program as a breakout session, guest experience, wellness offering, or an unexpected alternative to the standard evening reception.

Duration

90 minutes, with longer formats available.

03

Retreats and Executive Gatherings

The Feel

Unhurried and genuinely absorbing. With more room to settle into the process, conversation unfolds naturally and guests have time to become fully immersed in what they’re creating.

What's Included

Extended artist-led instruction with time to explore independently between demonstrations, professional materials for every guest to keep, and thoughtful personalization of palette and presentation.

How It Works

Hosted at your retreat venue or arranged in a beautiful outdoor setting or distinctive indoor space throughout the Nashville area. Together, we’ll shape the experience around your group, setting, and schedule.

Duration

Half day, with shorter formats available.

04

Private Gatherings

The Feel

Relaxed, beautiful, and celebratory. Created for milestone birthdays, friend trips, family gatherings, and occasions where the best part is simply having time to be together.

What's Included

Professional soft pastels and fine art materials for every guest to keep, artist-led guidance from start to finish, and an original piece each person creates and takes home.

How It Works

We bring the experience to your Nashville hotel, rental home, private venue, or gathering space, handling every detail so you can simply arrive and create.

Duration

90 minutes to a half day.

Details and Logistics

Tap a question to expand. Anything not covered here, ask us directly and we will answer before you commit.
Valerie and the team travel to your downtown Nashville hotel, convention center, or event venue. Locations outside downtown Nashville, including outdoor settings and distinctive indoor spaces elsewhere in the region, are available and quoted separately after a conversation about your needs.
Investment starts at $200 per guest with a 10 guest minimum. Final pricing is based on guest count, location, materials, personalization, and production requirements. Custom packages are available and every group receives an individual quote.

Groups start at 10 guests and can go much larger. For larger groups, get in touch to discuss options.

That is the usual starting point, and it is not a problem. No art experience is required. The session is designed so a complete beginner can follow it comfortably, and there is no single correct result.

Every guest keeps the original Tennessee landscape they created and the professional artist materials used to make it.
Soft pastel is a pure pigment medium applied directly by hand. It is immediate and forgiving, with no brushes, no drying time, and no technical barrier between a person and the color. It is the reason a first-time guest can produce work they are genuinely pleased with in 90 minutes.
Yes. Materials, palette, and take-home presentation can be personalized. Discuss options during your quote conversation.
