When Bren Morgan, owner of Paint Party Place in Missouri City, began taking art classes in college, she found the techniques being taught were things she had been doing ever since she began painting when she was young.

“I’ve always been an artist,” she said. “I just never knew the technical names for what I was doing.”

Morgan opened Paint Party Place in Missouri City’s Township Square in 2013, and for the past four years has been teaching people of all ages to paint in a fun atmosphere. Morgan said she likes to play music during the painting parties, and each of the three painting studios are set up with black lights that—when turned on—cause some paints to glow in the dark.

Some of the most popular reasons guests attend her classes is as a girls’ night out, a couple’s date night, and even to hold bachelorette parties, she said. Clients can reserve an entire room for a private party. She said some people who throw parties at Paint Party Place will even hire their own performers. Some clients will hire a bartender to serve drinks, and some will hire a DJ to play music. The business has a BYOB license, and patrons can bring their own drinks. Morgan has a fridge on hand for that purpose.
