Highly recommend! So happy I "found" ArtBeat when searching for an art party for my daughter's 6th birthday! The BEST birthday yet. Booking was super easy, communication was great and day of the instructor (Miss Zoey) came, set everything up and kept the kids engaged. The kids had so much fun and it was great to see each of their paintings. Some of the kids were worried it would be too hard but she was great, going step by step, providing help when needed and giving them all the confidence to do it. The best part for them .... She had glitter :) If you are looking for an art party .... Look no further and book now! You won't be disappointed. Next up .... Mom's Night In! read more

We had them come for our daughter's 7th birthday party. The artist was on time, set up everything, and she was amazing. The kids were 100% engaged the whole time. This is hand down the best birthday party we have hosted. Highly recommend this company. read more

Absolutely love this company! We just had a canvas painting birthday party for our 10 year old last weekend and it was so much fun! Ms. Laurie came on time, and did a great job entertaining the 10 girls for an hour and a half! The kids and their parents loved it!! Such a great and affordable birthday party idea! The birthday girl also got to paint for free! I had a lot of last minute RSVPs and changed the child/painter count several times, but Art Beat said it wasn't a problem. Love them!! read more

Artbeat was easy to book, communicate with and showed up early to prep the party. The kids had a great time. The artist was in control of the room of kids and it was the parents that were disruptive. Haha! But really, my daughter had an amazing 11th birthday party. She loves crafts and painting and this was perfect. Definitely recommend!! read more

I have attended several Artbeat classes and have also hired Artbeat for a corporate team-building event. All of my experiences and interactions with them have been wonderful. Incredibly professional to work with and customer-focused. The classes themselves are a really fun creative outlet even for amateur artists. I highly recommend Artbeat! read more

If you are looking for an amazing art experience, look no further!!! Artbeat is the best! Kristel and her team are amazing! My family and I have been attending classes for the last 7 years. I have never been disappointed! The classes are fun and easy to follow. During Covid, and not having much to do my family and I participated in a virtual art class. Kristel dropped all the supplies off at our homes. It was so convenient! Her classes (even via Zoom) are amazing! I also purchased an art kit for my daughter. The kit was age appropriate and included all the supplies and detailed instructions. My daughter loved it! PreCovid my daughter had a minion birthday party. Kristel came to my home, and taught a class to about 15 10 year olds. She was so sweet and patient. All the kids loved her! I honestly can't say enough! Kristel has had a huge impact on my daughter. My daughter looks up to Kristel and hopes to one day be an art teacher. I am so lucky to have found Kristel and look forward to taking many more classes. read more

Kristel is amazing! Not only is she a very talented artist, she is also a very kind person. We hired Kristel to paint a mural for us... you can see for yourself in the pictures, her work is spectacular! She also did a couple of smaller jobs painting flowers on my homemade fountains. They are all beautiful! Kristel was very flexible with our schedule, always showed up at the agreed upon time, kept her work station clean and tidy, and was such a pleasant and friendly person to have around! She customized the mural adding two butterflies after we had chatted about my new hobby of raising Monarchs. She really went above and beyond in every aspect of her work, and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an artist! read more

Kristel has been a blessing to my daughter over the last 5 years. She has done art work for not just one room, but two bedrooms for her. My daughter loves Paris so much. She had an image of what she wanted, but really could not put it into words. Kristel, thank you so much for helping her have the perfect room. Thank you for your professionalism, communication, dedication, and amazing company to this family. Our little one is already waiting for you to do her unicorn room. read more

I have worked with Kristel and Artbeat for over 5 years. She conducts workshops at my place of business. And I have been lucky enough to take a few classes myself. Kristel is a kind soul who is also a professional artist and teacher. I love her positivity, creativity and her overall business style in which she runs her business. She has also pivoted during these difficult times to continue to keep people engaged in art. I can't wait for things to normalize again and we can welcome back her classes. read more

Hosted a birthday party for 7 year olds with a Harry Potter theme. Kids painted hedwig and absolutely loved it! The instructors were patient and did a fantastic job with the kids! Great idea for a fun birthday party! read more

When you book an event with ARTbeat, you can expect it to become a favorite memory! Over the last 10 years, Kristel has provided so many fun times for my family, my business and my friends. She has organized countless private parties, including building terrariums, painting our pets, and day camps for the kiddos! I enjoyed the experiences so much I referred her to my employer, who has now for the last 3 years, hired ARTbeat to pull together exciting scavenger hunts around town as a team building experience for us too. We look forward to it every year!! She has brought us together with creative and thoughtful experiences filled with fun collaborations in art, new explorations in our community, and moments of down time to really enjoy each other's company. On top of being overall awesome, ARTbeat's website is easy to navigate, Kristel responds very quickly to inquiries, and she has a vibrant group of teachers who are all high caliber artists themselves. 5 STARS! read more

Kristel organized the most amazing art party for my nine-year-old daughter's birthday. The girls made dragon eye crafts and potions -- they loved it and the party was a HUGE success. Kristen was so organized and professional, and was awesome at entertaining, guiding, and having fun with the girls. I would not hesitate to use ArtBeat again. read more

Artbeat is the best kept secret...how am I the first person to review this phenomenal service? My 10 year old daughter wanted a canvas painting party for her birthday and a friend recommended Artbeat. They came to my home and everything set up, provided all of the materials (canvas, paints, brushes) and cleaned up afterwards. They have a great selection of paintings to choose from, which are sorted by age groups. Our artist/instructor Kristel was super engaging and very patient with my group of 6 kids. And the price is very reasonable...it's an amazing value! They do private parties for adults and kids, and fundraising events. I'm so glad I found Artbeat...no doubt I'll be a repeat customer. read more

Love Artbeat. Kristel is absolutely amazing! She is wonderful with kids and is a fabulous teacher. She is kind, patient and the best art teacher we have ever had. Art projects are so creative and special. Highly recommend this business!! read more

I've had the wonderful pleasure to work with on 3 projects this year. She is the preferred artist for utility boxes for Point Loma which is how I met Kristel. She is extremely talented and creative and she painted an awesome custom design for the outside of our home. Our neighbors were so impressed they hired her to paint their box as well. She then did more projects for us including painting the sides of our pool fountain which turned out better than we could have imagined. I highly recommend Kristel and will definitely hire her again! read more

MISS KRISTEL IS THE BEST!!!! My daughter and niece have been going to her camps during every summer and winter break for several years. It is always such a special time for them. Nowthat Corona virus is here, we have had her do private lessons. She is so careful and considerate, it is one outdoor thing we are super lucky to be able to do. The kids cherish their projects and she is so much fun to learn from. She is fun and sweet and very professional. Not only do we love her art, we have made a friend for life. read more

My daughter's 7th birthday wouldn't be so much fun without ArtBeat SD! Thank you to Ms. Kristel and company!! The kiddos had a blast! read more

Recently had a virtual event with Artbeat. Kristel was the teacher and it was amazing the amount of effort that she went through to get all of the paint kits to us so we could have a virtual paint night. I've been to a few of Artbeat paint nights pre-COVID and they were all well done, well taught and entertaining and allowed me and my friends the opportunity to get creative. Many thanks to Kristel for keeping us creative in these stressful times. 10/10 recommend to everyone! read more
