Corporate party in Minsk: art as team building

HR managers and executives know: organizing a corporate event that everyone will like is a task with an asterisk. Someone doesn't drink, someone doesn't like active games, someone is bored just sitting at the table. In 2026, Minsk companies are massively abandoning banal feasts in favor of experiences.

Art team building at MAKA Art is a solution that covers three pain points at once: entertainment, cohesion, and high-quality content for the company's social networks.

Why does it work? The Psychology of Creativity

1. Removing Hierarchy

In the office, there is a director, an accountant, and an intern. Behind the easel—everyone is equal. When the CEO asks the manager: "Listen, how did you mix this green?", the ice melts instantly. Joint creativity creates horizontal ties that later help in work.

2. Stepping out of the comfort zone (gently!)

Business requires creative solutions. But how do you think outside the box if you've been doing the same thing for years? Painting forces the brain to look for new paths. "How to draw a sunset if there is no orange paint?". This problem-solving skill is unconsciously transferred to work tasks.

3. Common Goal

One of the most popular formats—creating a Common Painting. We divide a huge canvas into segments, each employee paints their part, and at the end we combine them into a single masterpiece. This painting then hangs in your office as a symbol: "We are parts of one whole".

Corporate Event Options at MAKA Art

"Relax" Format (Candles or Gypsum)
A calm, meditative format. Great for female teams or after a stressful quarterly report when you need to exhale. Everyone makes their own product.

"Drive" Format (Fluid Art or Wine & Art)
Music, wine, bright colors. Lots of laughter, communication, and freedom. Great for celebrating the New Year or the Company's Birthday.

What do we take on?

You don't need to worry about anything except the guest list.

• Full organization: Materials, protective kits, packaging of works.
• Catering: We will help order snacks and drinks, set the table.
• Photos: Panoramic windows and natural light mean shots of the process look alive even on a phone; if needed, we will help you find a photographer.

ROI of Creative Team Building

Sceptics ask: "Why paint? A sales training would be better." Here is what actually changes:

• Engagement: people who usually sit out corporate events get pulled in — when your hands are busy, it is hard to stay on your phone.
• Memorability: the finished piece sits on a desk for weeks. A restaurant dinner is forgotten in a couple of days.
• Cross-department: at one table you get colleagues who never cross paths in the office.

Formats by team size

Up to 8 people — candle making: everyone gets their own workstation and their own scent. A calm format for one department.

10–16 people, at the studio — fluid art or "One Big Canvas": we split into teams, each paints its own piece, and in the end they combine into a single artwork for your meeting room.

More than 16 people — on-site only: the master comes to your office or venue (on-site workshops), with no upper limit on participants.

MAKA Art is an art studio in central Minsk — 61 Novovilenskaya St., unit 337. Directions are on the contacts page; pick a date on the booking page.

Frequently Asked Questions from HR Managers

Which format is suitable for a male team?

Gypsum! Men love working with the material—it resembles working in a workshop. The "Common Painting" format is also popular, where the team creates a single piece. Read more on the team building page.

How much does a corporate event for 15 people cost?

The cost depends on the format and the number of guests: the price list has tiers for groups of 10–14 and 15–16 people, all materials included. Current prices are on the pricing page. On-site events and custom programs are quoted individually.

Is it possible to hold a corporate event at your location and ours?

Both options! We travel to offices and other venues. And our private studio in central Minsk closes for your company only during the master class: tables, materials, tableware and the lounge area are already included in the booking.

How long does the event last?

The master class lasts 3 hours, with the welcome zone and buffet inside that time. We will tailor the timing within the three hours to your goals.
