Q. What do we need to supply for hosting an event?
A. Not much, but we do need the following:
- The basics: 30-45 chairs and table space to seat 30-45 people eating dinner (to allow space for their easels and room to see the instructor, however we want the tables clear of everything as we will be setting up with table cloths to protect your tables. Yes, accidents do happen!
- A separate table and chair at the head of the room for the instructor to set up and teach from. If you have a platform, that is even better, but not required.
- 5-7 pitchers of room temperature water (not iced). This will be used to fill paint brush washing cups at each table.
- Server or Drink Waitress(s) - A server who filters through the event picking up empty glasses and asking people for refills. The waitress can start 30 minutes before the event and stay until 30 minutes after. There will be a rush as everyone arrives in the first 45 minutes, then they can cover a few tables while they also cover our event.
- Speakers/music turned off, as we provide music which we play when the lead instructor is not speakings. In the interests of not disturbing your other patrons, it's best if we are in a separate room if possible.
- Have a P.A. system? If we have a large group, we may ask to use the mic and speakers.
- Bright lights! The brighter the better!
