Art Friends offers a range of in-home creative sessions and companion visits designed specifically for seniors in Mint Hill, NC and surrounding communities. Every session is personalized and planned around the individual.
Visits are designed to feel less like a rigidly scheduled activity and more like spending time with a creative friend.
Whether you or your loved one are a lifelong artist looking for fresh inspiration, a complete beginner who always wanted to try painting, or someone who just needs a little company and something engaging to do — there's an Art Friends session for you.

Signature Art & Creative Sessions
All materials included. We set up and clean up. Two hours of creative joy, delivered to their door.
Our signature in-home art session is a fully personalized two-hour* creative experience for seniors at home. Before every visit we review your loved one's interests, preferred subjects, and any physical considerations, then plan a session just for them. No two sessions are ever alike.
Art Friends provides a personalized creative experience, not generic or one-size-fits-all activities.
Activities are specifically selected and adapted to match each participant's abilities. Chunky paint sticks and foam clay work beautifully for limited hand mobility or arthritis. Magnification tools are available for participants with slight vision impairment or who need a little help for close-up work.
Projects are paced around energy levels, not a clock. There is no right outcome and absolutely no artistic experience required. The only goal is to experiment and make art enjoyable.
Every session ends with a finished piece that belongs to them — something to display, share with family, or simply enjoy.

Not every senior wants to make art and that's perfectly fine. Creative Companionship sessions are designed for older adults who want something engaging, low-pressure, and fun to look forward to. Each visit can introduce them to a new game, craft, or activity, or we can revisit old favorites.
Every Creative Companionship session can include an optional leave-behind — a small, curated collection of the supplies or the games we used during our visit. Each activity or game is also designed to be enjoyed independently, so your loved one can continue playing, coloring, or creating long after the session ends.
For example, all card games come with solo-player instructions. Coloring sessions include the option to keep the coloring book and a set of either markers or colored pencils. Puzzles can be kept to return to alone or when a grandchild visits. The session is the introduction — the leave-behind is the invitation to keep going.
Every session is planned around your loved one's personality and interests. Current offerings include:
Cozy Coloring : Adorable "bold and easy" style coloring pages with alcohol markers, acrylic pens, or colored pencils, worked on together with no pressure. Tutorials are available on special effects techniques like duotone, rainbow, jelly, vintage, and more.
Available add-on: Keep the coloring book and markers to keep creating between visits.
Card and Tabletop Games: A rotating selection of thoughtfully chosen one and 2+ player card and tabletop games, introducing a new game each visit.
Available add-on: purchase the card deck or game to keep and play solo or with visiting family and friends. Each game includes single-player instructions.
Puzzles: Enjoy a friendly puzzling session with colorful and interesting 250-piece high quality puzzles. Larger puzzles are available for expert or ambitious jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts. Note, we cannot guarantee completion of puzzles in the alloted session time, but we'll do our best.
Available add-on: Keep the puzzle to enjoy independently or with friends or grandchildren.
Junk Journal and Collage: A creative, hands-on session assembling pages from papers, ephemera, and found images. No artistic skill required — just curiosity and a sense of play.
Available add-on: A new creative journal, glue tape, and personalized ephemera pack to continue between visits.
Card Making: Design and create a set of handmade greeting cards using stamps, ink, and simple techniques. A practical, personal, and fun creative project.
Available add-on: Keep a set of six blank cards with envelopes plus a stamp and ink set.
Companion sessions run approximately two hours. Advance booking with deposit is required. Leave-behind add-ons are prepared in advance — please indicate your preference at booking.

Custom Art Gift Baskets -- Starting at $95
Make their Art Friends session extra special with a thoughtful custom art gift basket. Each basket holds a collection of art supplies chosen specifically for the recipient — ideal for birthdays, Mother's Day, holidays, or any occasion worth celebrating. Every basket is planned in collaboration with the gift giver to ensure we're choosing supplies that match your loved one's interests, physical considerations, and preferred style.
A watercolor lover might receive a small palette chosen for their color preferences, a watercolor workbook, water brushes, and a mixing palette. Someone who enjoys bold abstract work might get a mixed media sketchbook, a set of tempera paint sticks, washi tape for borders, and jumbo black and white Posca pens. Every basket includes a personalized gift card and arrives ready to present.

Tech & Creative App Tutoring — $75 | One Hour

No frustration, no rushing, no judgment. Just a calm, encouraging session that ends with them feeling confident and ready to explore on their own.
Client must have their own device and compatible app or game. This service does not include hardware troubleshooting or device repair.

Cozy Game Companion — $75 | One Hour
Does your loved one enjoy video games but not have anyone to play with? We'll settle in for an hour of relaxed co-op gaming — no competition, no pressure, just cozy classics played together at a comfortable pace. Popular cozy titles include Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Client must have their own compatible console, controllers, and a copy of the game for co-op titles.
A Cozy Game Companion session pairs beautifully with a new console or gaming gift — consider booking one alongside a holiday gift to help your loved one get comfortable and excited about their new hobby.
An Art Friends session makes a meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift for a senior parent or loved one — for a birthday, Mother's Day, the holidays, or simply because.

Gift certificates are available for any session or package. Custom art gift baskets are also available to add to any session. Contact us to arrange one.
