Live painting at an event, a concert or a corporate evening

Giulia Dal Bon is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. On stage, she paints the way one dances: standing, in motion, carried by the music. A concert, a product launch, a gala, an opening: the blank canvas of the start is turned to the room at the end, and a painting remains, kept by the company or bought that same evening.

What Giulia does at an event

Live painting among the audience: in a book-lined room, Giulia Dal Bon paints, her tubes of colour spread on the table.
Among the books, Giulia paints in the middle of the guests.

Giulia sets up her easel facing the audience and paints while the event takes place. On a stage, she paints to the music and the painting is revealed at the end of the piece or the set. At a drinks reception, a trade show or an opening, the canvas advances among the guests: people take the time to look, admire, photograph, and come back to watch the painting change.

The subject is chosen with you: the venue, the audience, a figure linked to the event, a motif drawn from the brand’s world, or a free composition carried by the music. At a show, she lets what she hears lead her. At a brand event, the composition is prepared beforehand from your references and your palette, and you approve it on a sketch, complimentary.

An entertainment act fills an evening; a painting then lives on in the offices, in the lobby, or with the person who takes it home. At a commissioned performance, the work is included and you leave with it. At a show where the work stays free, the painting made during the performance is offered to the room that same evening. You tell Giulia what you prefer, and it is written in the quote. And while she paints, the scene produces images and videos that your teams are glad to use as content.

If you are after a theatrical effect, Giulia can paint the canvas upside down and turn it round only at the end: your guests follow her hand, and the subject appears all at once as the canvas is flipped. It is a moment the room photographs, and it is planned at the quote stage.

The events where Giulia performs

Piano and painting show: in a room with golden drapes, Giulia Dal Bon paints a blue canvas to the sound of Orlando’s keyboard.
Before the audience, Giulia paints a blue canvas while Orlando plays.

At a concert, she paints to the music, standing, in motion, from the start of the set to the end: on stage, as an opening act, or during a chosen piece. Twenty minutes during one song, an hour during the drinks or a whole evening: the length is decided with you.

At a company evening, seminar, end-of-year party, launch, opening, gala, private view or trade show, she paints during the drinks or at a highlight of the programme, and the work stays with the company. In a theatre, she paints on stage, in the light, in front of the audience, and the painting is part of the performance: that is the principle of her show with a pianist, where the canvas advances to music played live.

Outdoors, at a festival or a village fête, two things are enough: light if she paints in the evening, and shelter in case of rain. She paints in acrylic, which dries fast and handles the open air. She travels to seventeen European countries, and the format chosen, with the travel, is priced in the quote, sent within 48 hours.

Your questions, before booking

Do you also come to small villages?

Yes. The towns named on this site are simply the ones that have a page, and Giulia paints everywhere else just as gladly: a hamlet in Piedmont, a village in the Var, a farmhouse in Tuscany, an estate an hour from the nearest airport. Give the name of the place and the date: the answer comes within 48 hours, and travel is agreed together in the quote.

How do I book live painting for an event?

Tell Giulia Dal Bon the date, the venue and the occasion, and she brings your idea to life with you. She offers you a free quote within 48 hours. Before the day, you choose the size and the subject together, and she prepares the composition if needed. On the day, she paints in front of your guests, and the signed painting is yours that same day. Live painting for an event starts at 400 €.

Where has Giulia already painted live?

On stages, in theatres, at weddings and at company evenings: she has painted live hundreds of times, dozens of them with the piano and painting show she performs as a duo. Several of those dates are public: at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, for Play Green, she painted alongside the illustrator Francesco Barcella, on a reclaimed wooden panel supplied by the Di Nuovo craftsmen. And on 6 July 2017, in Camaiore, for the fourteenth Festival Gaber, she painted under the Arco di Via Vittorio Emanuele beside the guitarist Gianni Martini. Both evenings are documented by Lyra Teatro and by the press, and the links are on the Press page. In July 2025 she painted live in the park of Cernusco sul Naviglio, for an art event. And during the Sanfelice festival, in June 2025, she painted the portrait of a family walking past.

How much does live painting cost at an event?

From 400 € for a live performance, on a stage, at a concert or at a party. From 950 € for the canvas of the evening, painted on site and handed over at the end. From 1,800 € for a large format or a full day. The canvas, the stretcher, the acrylics and the easel are included in the price.

Do you work with event agencies?

Yes. Giulia works with agencies, wedding planners and venues, and provides a detailed quote that drops straight into a budget: time on site, canvas size, subject, open dates. Write to her with the date and the venue, the reply arrives within 48 hours.

How far ahead should we book?

A few weeks are often enough for a concert or a corporate evening, while weddings are booked months ahead. In the busiest periods of the year, December for corporate parties and June for outdoor events, allow more margin. If the date is close, ask anyway: a slot sometimes opens. The open dates are written into the quote, sent within 48 hours.
