Color Your Story Memphis: Paint Your Own Memphis Souvenir

Color Your Story Memphis™ is a fun, beginner-friendly painting experience where creativity, music, culture, and Southern hospitality come together.

Whether you're visiting Memphis for the first time or you've called the Bluff City home for years, you'll create your own Memphis-inspired artwork while making memories you'll take home long after your trip ends.

Choose from a variety of Memphis-inspired painting designs celebrating the city's music, culture, history, iconic landmarks, riverfront, neighborhoods, and creative spirit.

No painting experience is required.

Our relaxed, step-by-step classes are designed for everyone—from first-time painters to experienced creatives.

Some locations may also offer optional Paint & Sip experiences where permitted by the venue and local laws.
