Puff, Puff, Paint lands at The Artist Tree Weed Dispensary & Lounge in Hawthorne on Sunday, August 30, 2026, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Two hours, one canvas, and a room of people getting creative together. No experience required — just an open mind and clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on.
Who Is Running The Room
The class is led by artist Stormy Tripp, owner of The Painting Joint. That detail matters. This is a working artist walking the room and talking through the night's painting, not a staff member handing out brushes and hoping for the best. The event is put on by The Artist Tree itself rather than an outside promoter, and it is sponsored by Selfies.
The Lounge Comes First
The invitation is to come early and enjoy the lounge before the painting starts, which tells you the shape of the evening. Settle in, order something, get comfortable, and pick up a brush once you are actually relaxed. Parking is free — in this stretch of LA County, that is not nothing.
Who It Suits
The organizers pitch it at couples, friends and small groups, and the two-hour runtime backs that up. It is a genuine alternative to a bar for a date or a birthday: you make something, you take it home, and you are not committing the whole night. This one is 21 and over only.
Before You Book
Tickets are on Eventbrite and the refund policy is blunt — there are no refunds, so be sure before you commit. The Inglewood address puts it within easy reach of LAX, the South Bay and most of the Westside. A room like this seats a limited number of people, so booking ahead is the move rather than the afterthought.
Make A Weekend Of It
If you are stacking an LA cannabis weekend, Weed Grrrls at Tao Comedy Studio runs the night before on August 29. Looking further out, the Best in Grass California Awards Show takes the Globe Theatre downtown on September 17.
