COLLECTIVE CANVAS
Collaborative Team Building Art Workshops in Boulder, Denver & The Bay Area
Art has always helped us mark moments, process meaning, and connect. Collective Canvas is a collaborative art experience for teams, offsites, and retreats where groups create a single painting that reflects their shared values, vision, and identity.
Based in Boulder and the Bay Area, Andrea brings together her experience as both a professional visual artist and executive coach to design and facilitate these sessions.
A Collective Canvas can be the centerpiece of a company offsite, a team retreat in Denver or the Bay Area, or a leadership gathering in a beautiful environment—any setting where people come together to reflect, bond, and move forward.
What Happens
Visioning
We start with a one-on-one conversation about your event—what it means, who’s coming, and what you’d like to express.
Custom Design
Andrea creates a unique design for your group based on that conversation. She prepares the canvas, sketches the layout, and gathers materials tailored to your event.
Live Facilitation
During your event, Andrea gently guides the group through a collaborative painting session that typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the group size and event type. Offsites and professional settings tend to be shorter, while parties and celebrations often benefit from a longer, more leisurely flow. Everyone contributes, no pressure or skill required—just meaningful marks and shared moments.
Event Completion
Because the design is professionally prepared beforehand, most Collective Canvas events result in a beautiful, display-ready piece by the end of the session. Optional touch-ups or refinements can be added for an additional fee if requested.

We invited Andrea Wedell to guide a collaborative painting session at our anniversary party, and it turned out to be the most meaningful part of the evening.
Each guest added their own touch to the canvas—and what emerged was not just a painting, but a collective memory. Andrea has a way of making everyone feel like an artist. She listened to our vision and helped turn it into something real.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add heart, creativity, and connection to a special occasion. 🎨

Andrea brought a level of depth and creativity to our offsite that completely exceeded expectations. The Collective Canvas session wasn’t just fun—it opened up unexpected conversations about collaboration, trust, and team identity. Everyone was engaged, even the skeptics.
We left with a beautiful painting—and a shared sense of accomplishment that carried into our work."

We came to Andrea with just a few themes—togetherness, resilience, community—and the drawing she created blew us away. It captured exactly what we were trying to express.
Painting together felt like stepping into a giant, joyful coloring book. Andrea gave us space to play and connect, while gently guiding the process.
The final piece was far beyond what we imagined. It now hangs in our shared space as a powerful reminder of what we created together.
