ART PARTY LOGISTICS
AGE: Individuals of ALL ages can participate in art parties from toddlers, to the elderly! Each project is adjusted to meet the level of skill, and no previous experience is necessary to undertake any creative art project. Children 6 years old and under should be accompanied by a caretaker.
TIME: Art parties can be from 1 hour to 3 hours long, depending on the art project, plus additional time for set up and cleanup.
LOCATION: Art parties can be hosted at any residence, community center or other location, as long as there is enough space and tables to work on, as well as access to water for cleanup. I am based in Laurel, MD and work in the DMV area, but I DO NOT host art parties in my home studio at this time.
BOOKING: After you've had a chance to review project offerings on this page, the first step to book an art party is to fill out the form below. I will reach out to you within 24 hours, and once the logistics (i.e., date, project type, budget) are confirmed, a downpayment of 50% of total cost is required to complete reservation.
PAYMENT: Payment is to be made via Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp, and is due by the end of business day following the art party event. Payment plans are available upon request, and I will work directly with you to make the project work within your budget, as well as make it comfortable for you to pay at a pace that works for you. I believe everyone should have access to art, and I am grateful to be in the position to offer this service :)
