What is Business Painting?
Through guided art workshops such as painting, drawing, collage, or mixed media, employees can recharge mentally, reduce stress, and reconnect with themselves and each other. Unlike traditional wellness programs, Business Painting combines stress reduction with team building: creating art side by side fosters collaboration, sparks communication, and helps colleagues connect on a deeper, more personal level. Shared creative experiences open new perspectives, reduce hierarchies, and build lasting trust – all while giving participants a valuable pause from their daily routines.

And don’t worry – you don’t need to be Picasso.
Under expert guidance, your team will be led through the painting process with ease. All equipment – brushes, canvases, paints, and protective materials – is provided, along with setup and cleanup, so everyone can simply enjoy the moment.
Experimenting with colors is not only fun, it also strengthens creativity, communication, and resilience. The collaborative artwork your team creates becomes a colorful reminder of openness, innovation, and the joy of working together.
Whether beginner or experienced, every participant will discover hidden talents within themselves and their colleagues. Business Painting is a vibrant, shared experience that boosts mental health, enhances well-being, and leaves teams feeling inspired, connected, and energized.
Business Painting is more than just a creative break – it is a unique way to strengthen mental well-being and team spirit in the workplace.

Why does art in the workplace contribute to positive mental health?
​
Reduce stress & lower cortisol
Creative activity has been scientifically shown to reduce the stress hormone cortisol. In one study, just 45 minutes of art-making lowered cortisol levels in 75% of participants – regardless of prior art experience (Drexel University). Other recent findings confirm that engaging in painting, crafts, or similar activities has calming effects, relieves stress, and promotes relaxation.
​
Increase happiness & life satisfaction
People who engage in creative activities regularly – whether painting, knitting, or crafting – report greater life satisfaction, a stronger sense of meaning, and higher happiness levels. In fact, some participants reported that creativity provided them with more meaning than their jobs (PsyPost).

Creativity is a major factor for well-being
Large-scale studies show that creativity contributes to well-being at a level comparable to age or overall health. In other words, creativity isn’t just a nice addition – it’s a major driver of happiness and resilience (News-Medical).

Broader impact of arts and culture
Research from the UK Department for Culture, WHO, and Frontier Economics shows that engaging with arts and culture – from visual art to music – alleviates depression, reduces loneliness and pain, protects cognitive function, and improves quality of life. The economic value of these effects is estimated at £8 billion annually due to higher productivity and improved life quality (The Guardian).
