About
Welcome to the Creative Chaos
At Painting Junkie, we don’t just paint — we rebel, express ourselves, and embrace the mess. Based in Springfield, Missouri, we’re more than a typical paint experience. We’re a movement for makers, misfits, and wild-hearted creatives who crave connection, color, and creative freedom. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or fully immersed in your artistic journey, our events, parties, and immersive paint experiences give you the space to let loose and create without limits.
Why Creative Experiences Matter
In a world that wants you to stay clean and colored inside the box, art gives you permission to break free. It’s not about perfect lines or pretty palettes — it’s about raw self-expression. Whether you're sipping and painting with your squad, burning custom designs into hats, or watching your kids light up at their birthday party, creating something with your own hands brings joy, release, and connection.
We believe in the healing, the power, and the absolute fun of making art — no rules, no pressure, just paint.
What We Offer
Mobile Paint Parties
We bring the paint party to YOU — birthdays, bachelorettes, girls’ nights, showers, and more. You bring the tables and chairs. We bring everything else: canvases, brushes, vibrant colors, and the good vibes.
Burning Experiences
Our signature hat burning sessions are part pyrography, part badass design. Customize hats, ball caps, and purses as you burn your story into every piece — literally. It’s raw, personal, and ridiculously cool.
Kids' Birthday Parties
Kid-friendly, fun-filled, and totally unforgettable. Ages 5 and up can enjoy creative birthdays with all materials provided. Watch your child and their friends light up with color, laughter, and creativity.
