Ashley also paints professionally for brands including Blue Moon Brewing and Captain Morgan.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Design a Sign: Be My Galentine is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Ashley breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Design a Sign events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
Ashley is a real local artist based in Minneapolis — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 11 out of 11 guests who've painted with Ashley say the instruction was amazing. Karen D. said: 'Ashley is the best painting instructor I’ve had—if you pay attention, you can create a painting you’ll be amazed by!'
Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel: The Depot (Minneapolis, MN) is a local venue in Minneapolis — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Design a Sign events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Your ticket to Design a Sign: Be My Galentine includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Ashley. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel: The Depot (Minneapolis, MN) — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel: The Depot (Minneapolis, MN)'s event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ashley starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Design a Sign event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Design a Sign cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Design a Sign — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
