Pynkverse Painting Experience

Art. Story. Discovery. Community

What is the Pynkverse Painting Experience?

The Pynkverse Painting Experience is a live, creator-led storytelling and community art installation where an original character arrives in raw wood — and participants help awaken it through color, story, and shared imagination.

Each experience blends narrative, visual art, and guided discussion, inviting participants into the Pynkverse while encouraging curiosity, creative thinking, and collective participation.

Each experience combines:

  • Live storytelling and character introduction

  • Guided community painting

  • Age-appropriate conversation and inquiry

  • Shared creative decision-making

The finished character is then professionally completed and returned to the host location as a permanent community artwork — becoming part of that space’s ongoing story.

How the Experience Works

  1. A hand-carved Pynkverse character arrives in raw wood

  2. A short story introduces the character and the world it comes from

  3. Participants paint together at a relaxed, guided pace

  4. The character is transformed through color, collaboration, and care

  5. The finished piece becomes a lasting part of the space it was created in

Every experience is shaped by the people in the room

More than an art activity

While painting is part of the experience, the Pynkverse Painting Experience is ultimately about bringing a character to life together.

Depending on the setting and audience, experiences can naturally explore themes such as storytelling, observation, materials, design, and problem-solving — creating moments of learning, creativity, and connection without feeling like a class.

Experiences for Different Communities

The Pynkverse Painting Experience is designed to meet people where they are.

Adapting in tone while keeping the same heart.

For Children & Families — PYNKO

For libraries and family-focused spaces, the experience centers on Pynko — the joyful heart of the Pynkverse.

Children explore:

  • curiosity

  • creativity

  • emotional expression

  • kindness and courage

Painting Pynko is playful, welcoming, and communal — an introduction to the Pynkverse through joy and imagination.

For Adults & Elders — OWLYA

For senior centers and adult programs, the experience centers on Owlya — the wise guide of the Pynkverse.

This version emphasizes:

  • reflection

  • storytelling

  • memory

  • conversation

  • calm, focused creativity

Painting Owlya becomes a shared, meditative process — honoring wisdom, lived experience, and the stories people carry with them.
