Cheers Pablo

What Cheers Pablo does

Cheers Pablo is a family-owned paint and sip company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. The business delivers guided acrylic painting experiences across multiple formats: in-studio classes at its physical location, mobile hosted events at customer venues throughout the Twin Cities metro, virtual sessions via Zoom, private parties, and community fundraisers. Classes run 1.5-2.5 hours with step-by-step instruction designed for participants with no prior art experience, and the teaching artists refresh a gallery of original painting designs weekly. Customer segments span individual consumers seeking social creative activities, corporate teams running team building, private celebrations, nonprofits organizing fundraisers, and remote/virtual participants.

The core revenue product is the Paint and Sip class at $35 per painter, with all materials (canvas, paints, brushes, aprons) included and food/beverages sold separately. Supporting streams include Open Studio self-directed sessions starting at $10, Private Events requiring a minimum of 10 paid attendees, Remote/Hosted Events with custom canvas options, Wood Signs Classes with a $10 wood-canvas upcharge, Fundraisers with a $25/head base, Gift Certificates, and the newer Just Arting Around exploration format. Customer acquisition runs through the company website, embedded FareHarbor booking calendars, phone (651-335-5263), email, and a Facebook page.

Cheers Pablo is a private, family-owned business with no disclosed funding, investors, M&A, patents, or partnerships. Two named teaching artists are highlighted publicly - Chriscell Bedard (award-winning watercolorist who has led thousands of participants) and Sid Korpi (award-winning actress/writer/acrylic artist) - and the company maintains an open Artist Application page indicating ongoing recruitment of instructors. No revenue, headcount, or financial data is disclosed in the source material.
