As we say goodbye to 2020 {GOOD RIDDANCE}, Cody and I want to take the time to thank every single one of you who have entered our business over the last year. It has been a year to remember and forget for so many reasons, and having people come into our Studio to create has been such a blessing. We are very aware that many small businesses have struggled to stay alive this year, and are continuing to struggle. We are so thankful that we have survived 2020 and are looking ahead to 2021.
We don’t know what the next year, next few months, next few days have to offer. But we are looking forward to that sigh of relief when midnight strikes. And we can’t wait to continue giving you a safe place to escape to when it all gets to be a little too much.
We wish all of you, from the bottom of our hearts, nothing but good health, peace of mind and prosperity through the coming year.
As the sun sets on Summer 2020, we want to thank everyone who came to paint with us over the last couple months after we re-opened. We appreciate your continued support and are so grateful for you helping to keep our business alive!
As we head into the Fall, we will be making some adjustments to how we conduct business in the Studio so we can accommodate birthday parties and, hopefully, school groups again. Our business thrives off parties and events, and not being able to offer them has been a real punch to the gut.
As of today, MASKS WILL BE MANDATORY FOR ANY PARTY OR SCHOOL BOOKING. The main Studio area will remain socially distanced with our tables spread out while we accommodate parties in our party room. School bookings will be private bookings that will have the whole Studio to themselves.
We are approaching cooler Fall/Winter months, and as kids head back to school, we hope to have our business pick up as it usually does this time of year and want to be able to give all of our customers the peace of mind about it staying safe and healthy.
Our new cleaning procedures will not change, we will still be cleaning all heavily touched surfaces constantly. You will still be expected to wash your hands when you arrive. You will still be assigned a table, to hopefully maximize on distance. You will still not be allowed to touch anything on the shelves. We will still only allow for ONE NON-PAINTING ADULT PER TABLE when accompanying children to keep the number of unnecessary bodies in the Studio low. We still ask that if you are sick, or have recently travelled to please stay at home. If business at the Studio picks up to normal pace, we will make further adjustments for that.
This virus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That’s the reality. And with that reality comes a shift in how we all need to conduct our lives to create some normalcy. I understand the fear. We have it too. But if we all continue to give in to that fear, we are all going to continue to lose those things that we love.
We want to continue to be a mainstay in this community. An outlet that allows our customers to relax, create and safely socialize. The only way we are able to do that, and continue to exist, is with your support. Let’s all move forward into this new way of life, safely, supporting our community and small businesses.
This August, PRISM Studio is offering pre-orders on Vintage Light Up Trees! All the trees available come with light kits and will remind you of Grandma’s house at Christmastime.
We are offering 6 packages to choose from with various styles of lighted trees. All fees must be paid by Monday, August 31. When choosing your package you can request to have a specialty paint available for your tree or specialty lights (purple/orange or birds) at an extra cost. Once all the trees are in house, we will contact you to pick up your tree as our storage space is limited.
Fees include the tree of your choice and light kit. Studio Fees will be paid at the time of painting. There are NO REFUNDS on purchased trees. If your tree is not picked up within 2 weeks of receiving your phone call, your tree will go out for re-sale.
Tree Packages and Pricing are as follows (Packages #5 & #6 are 10% Off as they are in stock):

Please do NOT come to paint if you are feeling under the weather or have recently traveled or are under self-isolation/quarantine.
This photo taken in the Studio a few days ago is a moment frozen in time! A reminder of … a hopeful next 5 years, a busy Spring Break, more successful events around the corner, the future.
These past couple of months have been stressful, overwhelming, doubtful and scary. Scary is the word I think stands out the most. We’ve been fearful of what’s around the corner. Fearful of getting sick. Fearful of our hard work and dedication being lost. Fearful of not providing the services you have come to love anymore. But fear cannot keep us from moving forward and adapting into the unknown.
As per BC’s re-open plan, our Studio will be reopening on Wednesday, May 20. We are going to have some new protocols moving forward that will be posted here and on our website. Our hours will be slightly different. We will be doing our very best to keep your experience as close to what you’re used to as possible – with a little more help from us than you are used to.
This decision, and any move we make in the coming weeks, are not made lightly. We have been discussing our re-open since the day we closed. How we would do it? How long would it take? What changes do we need to make? This small business NEEDS to re-open. To survive, our doors can no longer stay closed. This community needs an outlet for their creativity. We all need a little normalcy added back into our day to day. Parents need a break. Kids need to play. We need light at the end of the tunnel.
As stated above, we will keep you posted in the coming days about our in Studio changes. It will change your painting experience but please know that the feeling of seeing your piece come to life and that anticipation you feel about getting it back will all be the same. And we look forward to bringing those smiles back to your faces!
The Studio will be closed until further notice. Once the Studio is open we will reschedule parties and you will be able to pick up finished pieces.
We are currently following the government’s recommendations for “social distancing” and to “flatten the curve”. This wasn’t an easy call to make as small business owners, but one we felt was necessary at this time.
This business is our livelihood, and being closed for the time being is extremely difficult. We feel this decision is needed to be sure you, your families and ourselves stay healthy and safe.
I know many of you are concerned about picking up finished pieces. We will remain closed for pick ups to be sure we, as local small business owners, are being responsible and doing our part. We do not want you to feel the need to leave your homes at this time to make non-essential stops and put your families at risk.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please stay up to date here and on our Facebook page.
The May Long Weekend is the first sign that Summer is right around the corner! Before all your camping trips, baseball tourneys and the kids getting out of school – take an early Summer break with us on Saturday, May 2 for a “Summer” Ladies Night!
*Cover charges are $15 each or $8.75 each for groups of 5 or more. This is a private event for Ladies 19+ and requires a paid cover charge to attend.

Come celebrate PRISM Studio’s 5th Anniversary from Friday, March 13 – Monday, March 16! $5 Studio Fees all weekend long!!
We are so excited to be heading into another milestone with our Studio. This business is a huge part of our everyday lives, which makes all of you a part of that as well. We appreciate every single one of you who have come into the Studio over the last 5 years and painted with us. Without your support for our small, local business we wouldn’t be here today.
THANK YOU!
