- All right, three, two, one, throw.

Mix whatever colors you want, let's make some art, okay.

Let's do it, guys.

The only thing that you cannot say in this room is, "Oh, I ruined it," because you can't ruin it, 'cause it doesn't look like anything, it's just colors.

Give this canvas the business.

This is not for the faint of heart.

I mean, throw it.

- [Participant] Oh yeah, that's a good one.

- They get to show up, make whatever colors they want out of the paints that we have available, and then throw them at large scale canvases to make one of a kind works of art that nobody's ever seen before.

I tried it myself.

I wanted to be a part of a art experience, where I was in it, making it myself.

I thought it was really fun to throw paint at these canvases because it didn't really take any, like artistic background or know-how, how to do it, and so there gotta be people just like me, who wanna make their own art, who wanna experience things.

You come here, you're an artist, all right.

- [Participant] Very nice.

- I'll talk to them about how to paint.

Make sure that they understand like what colors make what when you mix them together.

They get protective material to put on, if they so choose.

Otherwise, they can get a little bit messy, if they'd like.

If you get paint on your clothes, it's never coming out, so just go forward with that mentality.

And then I take them through how to throw paint at this canvas.

Throw it down from your hip and go out like this, okay.

They do it one time, and then they are off to the races.

They get to do whatever they want to their canvas.

But once the paint leaves your cup, remember, there's nothing you can do about it, so just let it go, right.

If you throw something, and you're like, I don't love the way that came out, throw something over it, okay.

The people who come to Splatter Charlotte are all different groups of people, including families.

We've got day dates, anniversaries, birthday parties, two friends gettin' together.

If you wanna come solo and make something brand new for your own apartment or house, absolutely.

Are you guys havin' a good time so far?

- [Group] Yes.

- Good.

It's really interesting to watch people sort of figure out on their own, oh, maybe I could just drizzle it on the campus.

Maybe I can scrape it along the canvas.

And they come up with all these different techniques, so it really is their piece of art.

And we've done small companies of four people.

We've done medium sized companies of roughly 20 people, all the way up to companies of 150 people, all making big pieces of art together.

With every team building session that we do, we put your logo right in the middle of that canvas, and then everybody paints over it, and then once it's fully dry, we peel that logo away and reveal it in the negative space of the canvas.

- It was really good.

It was a lot of fun.

It's different.

I don't think we've ever done anything like this before.

Can get dirty, but we love that.

- It was exciting to see like, okay, what's gonna happen after the next one?

And then, see what you can do with with what we have.

Even though you don't know what's gonna happen, just know it's gonna be good.

I think it's cute.

- When people see the canvas after it's fully finished, they are sort of amazed that they made it themselves.

Reception's been great.

I've got hundreds of paintings that have been created just this year from people who either think that they're an artist or think that they're not.

They come here and they make something brand new with a loved one.

Also, with companies that come here, they always end up having a great time.

Throw.

I hope that Splatter Charlotte customers understand that everybody is creative, everybody has something interesting that they can add to a creative conversation, an artistic conversation, whether they think they can or not.

If you think you can't draw a stick figure, then this is the place for you, because it shows you, yes, you can be creative, if you just get out of your own way for like an hour, stop judging yourself so hard, you can make something that you love.

The way I see it is that without any one of you being in this room, this would not be the same painting.

If any one of you wasn't here, every throw mattered effectively, right.

In the same way, that when you're thinking about your practice, the company culture you guys are building together, sometimes you might be thinking, like, does the thing that I do really matter?

But I think it's important to remember that without you, it wouldn't be the same company.

Nicely done, give yourselves a big round of applause, good work.
