Our mission is to provide quality art products and innovative art team-building experiences incorporating technology to make creating easily accessible and fun. We do this by creating customized art images and activities that improve art skills and help budding artists and leaders create beautiful things.

We offer art team-building experiences to corporations with a desire to connect, engage and celebrate with their teams both virtually and in-person.

We are a woman-owned, black-owned (WBE|MBE) certified business providing interactive, engaging, and creative exercises that bond and build connections to improve work relationships through innovative painting, cultural ARTifacts and multi-canvas collaborative team-created art.

We recognize art as a fundamental human need, and we believe that everyone finds joy in the act of creation. What better place for art to boost creative thinking and problem-solving than in the workplace?
