Community Event Requests

The Art Lab LOVES to go out into the community and provide enriching art experiences to others, we ENJOY community building at schools, parks and in neighborhoods and providing unique experiences to CREATE ART!

Listed are our options for public events; however, we are happy to help accommodate another request.

Interested in booking an event? Complete an event request form and we’ll get back to you soon.

Public Event Costs:

$250 – 1-3 hours ($50 each additional hour)

So, why do we, The Art Lab, need to charge a fee for public art events?, aren’t public events great advertising? We believe it is right to pay our professional artists who are giving of their time and talents. We also want to provide quality art experiences with only the best art materials  like clay, watercolor, collage materials and other items which may not be accessible everyday and that all costs money. We provide these experiences at heavily reduced costs compared to our regular per person workshop fees; this is because we want to be apart of your community, meet, talk and create with you.
