Guest Activities for Resorts
|
Offering unique, customized resort activities is an excellent way to engage guests and ensure the resort stays top-of-mind.
Private and group painting experiences not only provide guests with a truly memorable keepsake, but painting is a fun activity that can fit into nearly any travel itinerary. In addition, live painting can elevate the resort experience by directly entertaining guests. Observing a professional artist in action serves as a touchpoint that leaves a lasting impression and can encourage participation in resort activities. Delivering standout guest experiences like these can boost overall satisfaction and build long-term customer loyalty! |

1. Private and Group Guest Painting Experiences
Canvas painting engages guests in a fun new way and is sure to stand out as a unique resort activity. Through a group or private session, guests create memories that capture features from the resort and surrounding region. Led by professional artist, Kimball Willson, guests are guided step-by-step through the painting process that results in an entertaining, personalized experience and artwork that becomes a cherished memory of their time spent on the resort's property.
Guests may schedule a private, customized painting session (1-4 guests) or join an early-evening small group painting session (up to 10 guests). These packages may also be combined with the resort's restaurants or catering services to provide an expanded offering.

2. Live Painting on Resort Property

Artist Kimball Willson paints from her easel as a form of guest entertainment, as well as offering artistic insights, discussion, and an invitation to join the guest painting activities. She is primarily an equine and pet portrait artist and is especially quick to connect with guests traveling with pets! However, Kimball does paint diverse subject matter including seascapes, landscapes, and abstract designs.
It is rare that an artist will show their "behind-the-scenes" painting process, so this tends to be a special sneak peek that inspires guests to join the painting experiences, and also allows them the opportunity to observe the artistic process right on the resort's property. |
