Biggest Paint and Sip in Australia

On 23 September 2021 in Coomera on the Gold Coast, Paint Juicy delivered a single-session Paint and Sip with 218 recorded seated guests. Not a rolling tally. Not an inflated door count. Two hundred and eighteen people, seated at once, painting together, supported by a 16 person Paint Juicy crew, ten live artist demo stations, a lead artist on the front screen and mirrored vision across smaller screens. Two bars kept service moving. Pattysmiths Burgers and chips landed on arrival. The show ran on time and finished with a proper gallery wall. We set the benchmark and we have the receipts.

But we were fucking buggered afterwards!

Why this is the benchmark in Australia

• 218 recorded seated guests in one session
• 16 Paint Juicy crew across hosting, artists, AV, floor management and front of house
• 10 live demonstration stations for close-up clarity at every table
• Multi-screen instruction for clear sightlines in a large verandah area
• Timed hospitality plan with two bars briefed to the run sheet. We met the sales target within the first round, go you animals!!
• A start-to-finish format that guarantees a finished canvas for every guest
• Live DJ smashing out the tunes
• Security were on-site for any cheeky-peeps. Although some poo-head did steal our artworks which were at the door BUT the seccies were looking after the masses so we can forgive that. Not the thieves though. Karma will come and poo in your house! 

If you are searching for biggest paint and sip Australia, largest sip and paint, mass paint and sip event or record paint and sip Gold Coast, this is the only reference that matters. We do bloody great paint and sip parties small to large, just ask us, haha.

We bring the biggest crowds and keep the standard high

Scale is not a poster or a hope. It is a system that we know. We, Paint Juicy design the floor, sets the pacing, briefs the bars, feeds the room early and runs instruction that lands for first timers and returning painters. That is why guests finish proud of their canvas and still have energy for photos and a toast. It is also why venues trust us to fill rooms and not melt them.

How we make big rooms feel personal

• Early wins, Brushes move within five minutes. People relax when they see progress.
• Teaching that works at distance, Lead artist on the main screen, ten satellite demo stations showing real hands making real strokes.
• Clean audio, Tested microphones and sensible levels so instruction lands first time.
• Food first, Pattysmiths Burgers on arrival kept the focus on painting, not queues.
• Service to time, Refills during breaks, not during key technique cues.
• Redundancy everywhere, Spare brushes, canvases, cables, microphones and artists. Problems never become drama, ever.

Stories from the floor

Designer heels (Louis Vuitton) made an entrance and survived the paint zone somewhat but complained (BUT we have a very strict rule that you don't wear anything stunning unless you are ready to be painted on). A table hit a three-part harmony to an 80s chorus and the room clapped them in. Security kept public areas tidy while cameras covered the main floor. That is the Paint Juicy effect. It feels like a party and runs like a show. Guess who, don't sue.. a few ladies tried their luck with a somewhat famous gentleman but he said 'no way, babay' allegedly. A couple bumped potatoes more than a bingo-cage in a toilet.. allegedly. That room was shaking A LOTTTT. Also, how fucking disgusting.. they were rented porto-loos so leave that in your mind. 

Why scale matters for your event

• Confidence, If we can seat 218 and finish on time, your hens, team or Christmas group is easy.
• Clarity, Big-room teaching translates to crystal clear guidance for any size.
• Hospitality that helps, not hinders, We brief venue partners to the minute so the vibe stays high and the art gets done.
• Results you can show, Every guest finishes a canvas. Every group leaves with proof they had a good time.

Awards and reputation

Paint Juicy has been recognised in Best of Queensland Experience across multiple years. Tens of Thousands of guests have come through our public and private sessions since 2021. This is not a side project. This is what we do most days of the week and we do it well. We are professional chaos makers.

What this means for future headline nights

We won Australia’s biggest Paint and Sip because we build formats that scale and crews that care. Next we will raise the bar again with the biggest Aquarium Paint and Sip. Think after-hours access, underwater theming, marine-inspired designs, multi-screen teaching and a timed hospitality plan that respects the venue and delights the crowd. Largest aquarium paint and sip in Australia is the target. The model that worked in Coomera will work under the glow of the tanks. We are operations, marketers and artists all in one.
