Picture Perfect Paint Parties is already fairly well known in the Dayton area. The business has been holding parties across the Dayton area, and owner Dana Calhoun was ready to have a space of her own to host her parties, the Downtown Dayton Partnership said in an announcement.
Get more information on Picture Perfect Paint Parties on Facebook or Calhoun's website www.pictureperfectpaintparties.com. The business will announce grand opening plans and public hours in coming weeks, the partnership said.
The Pop-Up Project launched in November 2011, providing potential business owners a shot at shorter leases at below-market rates.
“Since it was started, the project has launched 26 shops (17 of which stayed open past their initial pop-up phase), filled more than 25,000 square feet of previously vacant space and created 43 jobs,” the partnership said.
