Art for Good Painting Parties

Virtual Paint Parties for Girl Scout Troops

We make it fun and easy for Girl Scouts to acquire the skills needed to express themselves creatively. Everyone starts with an outlined canvas and learns to create their own masterpiece with our friendly step-by-step instructions. Since this is not an art class but a party, Girl Scouts are free to make their paintings unique. We provide all the supplies necessary and make sure that every Girl Scout ends the party with their own masterpiece on canvas. If you would like to have a theme for the party, we have plenty of ideas to share. Just let us know. Parties are held on Zoom and last approximately 1 hour.

The cost is $25 per participant and includes an Art Kit with all supplies needed for the party!  (This price is for local pickup.)  

If the Art Kit is mailed, the cost is $35 per participant.

To set up a Party for your Troop, please contact us within a month of your proposed event date. Registration will need to close two weeks before the event date to allow us enough time to prepare the Art Kits and mail them if necessary.

Brownie Painting Badge Virtual Paint Party/Workshop

We combine the elements of our fun, friendly paint parties with a mini art history lesson about a female artist; her life, works and inspiration. We then provide the Girl Scouts with step-by-step instruction on how to paint their own masterpiece inspired by the style of our selected artist. Our Art Kits include all materials needed for this event, including an outlined canvas. 

This event is created to fulfill two steps for the Girl Scout Brownie Painting Badge requirements:

            step 1: “get inspired” (learn about a painter) 

            step 2: “paint the real world”

Parties are held on Zoom and last approximately 1 hour

The cost is $25 per participant and includes an Art Kit with all supplies needed for the party!  (This price is for local pickup.)  

If the Art Kit is mailed, the cost is $35 per participant.

To set up a Party for your Troop, please contact us within a month of your proposed event date. Registration will need to close two weeks before the event date to allow us enough time to prepare the Art Kits and mail them if necessary.

Vine Images

Vine Images is so excited to partner with Girl Scout Councils all over the US and overseas to provide online courses for students that are self-paced and mobile-friendly. With many troops able to meet in person now, we want to encourage group participation and interaction. But, for those still meeting virtually, we will help make your course an amazing experience.

If you have a troop of 10 or more girls, we have a deal for you. We work directly with troops leaders to handle registration and payment of the course and will provide you with instructional material on guiding your troop to earn their photography badge or patch together. You will receive a PDF workbook on how to guide your troop through the course, pre-made games you can play and even some pretty cool crafts you can make out of your photos … all at a discounted rate.

Troop Digital Photographer Badge event

We work with troop leaders to ensure Girl Scouts receive the best experience possible. From private zoom meetings to helping prepare your photography troop meeting … its a smooth process to earn your photographer badge.
Girls love sharing their work and we love seeing different parts of the world and sharing our experiences. There is so much we can learn from photography. Why not learn a skill you will use for the rest of your life from a professional?

$120 for 10 Girl Scouts
$12 per additional Girl Scout
