4 Events That Are Perfect for Hiring a Face Painter

When it comes to children’s entertainment, few activities are as perfect as face painting. Kids love choosing their favorite designs and watching as colorful artwork is created right before their eyes. It’s more than entertainment, it’s an experience that sparks imagination, laughter, and pure joy.

4 Events That Are Perfect for Hiring a Face PainterA professional face painter from Goofy Faces can help turn any kid-friendly gathering into a fun and memorable celebration. Here are four events where children especially enjoy face painting.

  • Birthday Parties: Children’s birthday parties are one of the best places to include face painting. Kids get excited about picking designs that match their personality or favorite characters. Whether it’s a superhero mask, a glittering butterfly, or a playful animal design, face painting adds a special moment of fun during the celebration. Goofy Faces artists can paint full-face designs, partial faces, or even arm and leg designs, depending on the party style and age group.
  • End-of-School-Year Celebrations & Field Days: Field days and end-of-school celebrations are exciting milestones for kids. After a year of learning and hard work, these events give children a chance to relax, play, and celebrate with friends. Face painting is a natural fit for school events because it keeps children engaged and smiling while they enjoy their special day.
  • Summer Festivals: Face painting stations often become one of the most popular stops at family festivals because children enjoy watching the artwork being created and selecting designs they love. Goofy Faces artists can also combine face painting with other kid-friendly art experiences, such as caricatures, to keep young guests entertained longer.
  • Family Reunions: Are about bringing generations together, but it’s important to have activities that keep younger guests happy and engaged. Face painting gives kids something fun to do while adults spend time connecting and catching up.

“ I just wanted to let you know that Peter and Alma were fantastic. They were such a big hit with our guests – professional, personable, and wonderful with the kids. Even the “big kids” (adults!) joined in on the fun with face paint and goofy faces. I’d definitely recommend them for future events. Thanks again!” – Eunice H.

“Share was on time, set up, and ready to go as soon as our patrons started coming in. She had signs and forms that made both our job and the attendees’ choices so easy! She was engaging with all ages and emphasized the best in each individual. Whether it was a kid or an adult, they all walked away filled with pride at their new caricature. We had an amazing turnout, with Share completing 35 caricatures in 2 hours! Looking forward to working with both Share and Goofy Faces in the future.” – Heather H.

A Family Caricature Makes Memories Last

Make Memories Last Longer with a Custom Caricature

The good and the bad of having a camera that fits in the palm of your hand

If you’re of a certain age, you remember taking pictures on a camera – with film. Back in those dark ages, you waited, several days even, to see if the pictures were any good!

That Was Then

Remember how exciting it was to open that envelope and see if maybe, just maybe, there was one good family picture? Then you proudly showed it to everyone and displayed it in a photo album or frame. Every time you walk by it you fondly remember that special moment!

This is Now

Today we have some of the most sophisticated photographic tools in the palms of our hands, our smart phones. But when was the last time you printed a family picture from your phone and put it in a frame? Most people don’t.

A family caricature is fun and makes memories last longer.

Goofy Faces will be at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts Art & Apples Festival(r) September 6-8, 2019.

When you take hundreds of pictures at time, it can be overwhelming to choose just one.  Oftentimes the images live on our phones and in our social media feeds, but they rarely make it to a coveted place on the wall for all the family to enjoy.

Make it Memorable

When you and your loved ones sit down for a custom, family caricature, you get a one-of-a-kind piece of art, featuring you! It’s more than a photo, it’s hand-drawn memory you will treasure forever. As summer winds down and kids head back to school, there’s still time to make memories and get a custom keepsake caricature you’ll treasure for years to come.

Enjoy an outing to your local zoo or aquarium. Most retail stands are open daily through Labor Day weekend, then weekends only through Halloween. Click here to see if we’re at a location near you!

Or check out local events like the upcoming Art & Apples Festival® in Rochester, MI, sponsored by Paint Creek Center for the Arts. While there, get your face painted or family caricature drawn by one of our artists so you can capture the moment and remember this special time.
