You may have tried paint parties before, but experiencing one with a Belizean twist offers something special: a chance to connect with local culture and creativity, guided by talented island artists. These gatherings invite locals and visitors alike to slow down, unwind, and see Belize through a new lens. From seaside patios to cozy cafés, participants of all ages, from kids to grandparents, can enjoy a relaxed, inclusive experience that is as fun as it is memorable. Instead of just snapping photos, guests create a hand-painted keepsake that reflects both their trip and Belize’s vibrant spirit.
On Ambergris Caye, two standout experiences, Paint N Splash by Belizean Melody and Sip & Paint by KV Creations, are turning blank canvases into colorful souvenirs. Both celebrate Belize’s easygoing, welcoming nature and offer a creative twist for anyone looking to add art and laughter to their island adventure. Whether you join a class on a rainy afternoon or during a golden sunset, you will leave with paint on your hands, a smile on your face, and a story worth framing.
Paint N Splash by Belizean Melody Art Gallery
Paint N Splash is a fun, family-friendly art experience open to residents and visitors alike. Hosted by artists Melody and Debbie, who have led paint parties for over a decade, the studio has even trained young artists who now teach across the island. Guests can visit the North Studio, located across from Belizean Shores, for walk-in sessions at $25 USD per person, which includes all necessary supplies. Advance booking is encouraged.
Private group events are also available for birthdays, family gatherings, or special occasions and can be held on-site at any location around the island. Public sessions take place weekly at popular venues, including The Nauti Crab (Thursdays at 2 PM), Mesa Café (Fridays at 12 PM), and Wayo’s Beach Bar (by appointment).
Each class is guided step by step, making it easy for anyone to create a painting they will be proud to take home. To reserve a spot, email [email protected] or WhatsApp +501 614-2787.
