Our Hamilton, Niagara, and Toronto Corporate Events

team-building & team-development art events

These are not paint-by-number sessions! They are workshops that expand the thinking process, that present corporate ideas, solicit feedback from your team, and inspire a community of communication — a fun way to build teams and help them to focus on outcomes. Ultimately this will help move your business forward.

Our events bring thinking outside of the box to a whole new level. Your goals and objectives will be met whether through a single workshop, a series of workshops, or a conference retreat designed to be suitable for all stakeholders, staff and/or clientele.

We believe in diversity of thought — through art. The sessions allow your company an opportunity to convey your corporate message and/or gain valuable input from the team. Our events encourage individual creativity with a collaborative component that makes the whole session interactive.

Use the power of art to creatively communicate your corporate messaging and bring your entire team closer together. Practising artist Karen Klucowicz draws on her background in interior design, fine arts, and marketing to make all of our events educational and fun! 


We make it as easy as possible to offer your team a unique workshop, retreat, or conference experience. Our wide range of events accommodates various group sizes, dynamics, and locations. They all include set-up, facilitation, take-down, workshop materials, and a parting gift for each participant. 

In addition to virtual event offerings, our Hamilton-based studio is available for in-person events. We’re also mobile and can bring our art experiences to your workplace or another facility across the Golden Horseshoe. With event prices ranging from $20-125 per team member, finding the best option for your company’s budget is easy.

our team building events

all for one masterpiece

We'll promote teamwork, negotiation skills, and individuality by asking participants to paint a piece of an image on separate canvases. At the end of the experience, we’ll assemble the paintings to form one complete picture. A unique way to deliver education on branding, product launches, new systems, and more! 

abstract painting session

Invite your team to explore their creativity on individual canvases. Using a supplied theme or their own concept, they’ll learn to express their ideas by integrating colour and texture in paint – all while having fun!

artist for a day

Provide your team members with the opportunity to practise critical thinking, express themselves through art, and unwind from work. The length of the workshop and the number of participants attending it is entirely up to you. A discount is available for groups of five or more.

tail gate team-building art experience!

team building, art events, team culture, creative team-building events, art workshops, corporate messaging, hamilton, ontario, Golden Horseshoe, events, virtual events

Give your team members a couple of hours away from the screen and then a couple away from home!


studio k2 will get a painting kit out to each member together with painting guidance and then be available for consultations as they work it up. They can do it on their schedule (you gift them a couple of hours) and then you can plan a tail gate date and time for the team to come together and unveil their masterpieces!

studio k2 events are unique
Our workshops provide your company with a creative way to present to or hear vital information from your team and inspire the participants to work collaboratively! It is the perfect opportunity to communicate in a fun way with your team.

An ideal tool for strategic planning or training, this opportunity is adapted and customized to suit the organization's needs. Conveying new messaging, re-energizing the team, or solicit feedback from the team, are a few examples of how to take advantage of our creative.

In consultation with the facilitating artist, your event format and artwork(s) will be selected that have the ability to convey what you need to say, inspire or hear.

Our event formula recognizes individuality, promotes participant interaction, process negotiations and collaboration. It reiterates the idea that while your team members are individuals they are contributing to the whole.
event format
We begin each workshop with a short presentation about art, the creative process and activity directions. The participants then spend about an hour and a half working individually and with each other to complete the activity. The event always wraps up with the delivery of the objective to the session either by your facilitating artist or a corporate representative.

outcomes
The events are fun and memorable! Events of this nature motivate individuals to 'think outside of the box' and problem solve in interesting, new and unique ways.

The collaboration to create the art incites both ownership in the message and ultimately the company.The finished masterpiece(s) will carry the event results forward for the team. You may want to install the finished art at the company or the individuals can keep their own creation. Either way, the good time and message will resonate with everyone.
location, location, location....
The events can be held at your place of business, off-site at studio k2 or other facilities.

“Karen was an absolute delight to work with. I wanted to engage my coworkers in an event that would get them excited about our new corporate social responsibility program and right from the beginning Karen knew how to take our vision of people, planet, and profit to life. Leading up to the event Karen was very enthusiastic and organized - there was little work for me to do. The painting itself was very informative; we learned about art and how to paint but also how to work with a team in a unique setting. The best part is that our masterpieces now hang on the wall to remind us of our fun afternoon painting and what we are ultimately striving for as a company.”

Our Accounting and IT team were hosted by Karen Kucowicz at her studio for our annual team building event. Karen was able to take an abstract concept, (the contribution of our team to our company’s vision and mission), and bring it to life. Painting was completely different from our day to day work, yet she used it to help us feel connected to each other and to our company’s strategic goals. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a fun, inclusive team activity. We had a great time together! Many thanks Karen!

"The activity made it possible to discover an unsuspected creativity in me. Karen is a fantastic presenter and has perfectly transformed an in-person activity to a virtual one."

"Great event to be held virtually as it still brings the team together in a fun way. The pace and atmosphere was so calming and perfect for our hectic schedules. Amazing job Karen."


“The entire team sent me their paintings in an email with raving reviews. They loved it, thank you for all your support with this!!”
