Who it’s for
From boardrooms to ballrooms — any team, any scale.
Gregory Burns has been facilitating team art experiences for some of the world’s leading organizations since 2005 — from intimate leadership groups of ten to large-scale company events of 1,000. Each experience is designed around your team’s size, goals, and culture. Gregory acts as both facilitator and lead artist, guiding everyone through the process with energy, humor, and purpose. No art experience is needed. What participants take away is more than a painting: it’s the memory of building something together that none of them could have built alone.

How it works
We set the intention
After confirming the theme and goal of your event, Gregory and his facilitators prepare the space and everything from canvases, paints and brushes to a methodology designed to engage your team.
You paint together
No art experience needed. Gregory guides the room — part facilitator, part artist, entirely energising.
Amazing emerges
What starts as individual panels becomes a single collective work. A visual metaphor for what teams can achieve together.
You keep it
The finished painting belongs to your organization. It hangs in your office. People walk past it. They remember they made it.
Workshop Formats
Two programs. One outcome: Connection.
Visualizing Company Culture through Art
Teams create a large-scale collaborative painting that embodies their shared values and objectives. The process of visualizing and personalizing company culture generates genuine ownership — participants don’t just hear about the mission, they paint it. The resulting artwork hangs in your office long after the event ends as a permanent reminder of what the team built together.

The Creative Leader Workshop
Drawing on five principles shared by great artists and great leaders, this masterclass takes participants out of their comfort zones through hands-on art-making. By engaging the creative right side of the brain, teams develop more intuitive, lateral approaches to problem-solving — skills that transfer directly back into the workplace.
Key Objectives
- Experiment outside comfort zones
- Re-engage the right side of the brain
- Work creatively alone and with teams
