Something for those who seek guided creativity team-building sessions

ColourSpace has teamed up with several local artists to offer virtual creativity sessions for teams. Suitable for teams of up to 12, these are 1.5 hour guided sessions designed for all skills levels, with the purpose of giving people a reason to connect over something creative.

We’ll look after everything from sending your team the materials they need (sans alcohol), we’ll host the Zoom session, and we’ll work with the artists to tailor the session for your team. Think of it like a virtual ‘Sip and Paint’, and support a local artist to boot.
