Paint With Me: The Joy Collective

A collaborative painting experience with artist Sareka Unique. We create together, we laugh together, and everyone takes home a piece of joy.

About the Experience

Step into a space where color, creativity, and connection flow freely. Join artist Sareka Unique for a guided, joyful painting session where you’ll create side by side on a continuous roll of canvas or your own private piece.

Each brushstroke, mark, and color choice is part of a shared experience — and every guest leaves with a tangible reminder of joy and creativity.

No experience required — just an open heart and a love for color.

A Few Things You Might Be Wondering

Everything you need to feel comfortable, excited, and ready to create.

  • Not at all. These sessions are designed for all levels — from complete beginners to seasoned creatives. I guide you through the process, and there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to paint here.

  • Each session is about exploration, expression, and joy — not copying a specific image. We’ll work with color, movement, and mark-making, and everyone creates something uniquely their own.

  • All materials are included — paint, canvas, tools, and guidance. Light refreshments are also provided. You just show up ready to create.

  • Every guest leaves with their own finished piece of artwork.

    • Group sessions: you take home your section of the shared canvas
    • Private sessions: you take home a 24 x 36" or 24x48” collaborative piece (rolled or finished, depending on your booking)

  • Group sessions: 2.5 hours
    Private 1-on-1 sessions: 3 hours

    This allows plenty of time to create, connect, and enjoy the process without rushing.

  • Yes! If you’re looking for a solo experience, I recommend booking a Private 1-on-1 Creative Session, which is designed for deeper, more personal exploration.

  • Wear clothes you’re comfortable in and don’t mind getting a little paint on. Aprons are available, but paint has a way of finding its way everywhere 😉

  • These sessions are designed with adults in mind, but older children are welcome when accompanied by an adult. If you’re planning a family or group experience, feel free to reach out first.

  • Yes. Group sessions require a minimum of 2 guests.

    If only one person is booked, the session may be rescheduled or upgraded to a private 1-on-1 experience.

  • Sessions may be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. All bookings are non-refundable. Missed sessions or late cancellations will be forfeited. Credits may be issued at the artist’s discretion.

  • All sessions take place at Sareka Unique Art + Design Gallery inside Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, near JCPenney.

  • Yes! I offer private group experiences for birthdays, team outings, celebrations, and special events. For groups of 7 or more, please email reka@sarekaunique.com for custom booking.
