PERFORMANCE

Our artists arrive 20-30 minutes prior to our start time for set up. Guests line up behind the artist(s) to watch them draw! Multiple faces per page are welcome - guests sit one at a time in the chair and rotate by height. Drawings are always free for guests though we do provide a tip jar to ensure the line moves quickly!

END OF EVENT

Artists manage their own line, cutting it off 15-30 minutes before the end of their time with a “Sorry! I’m the last one!” sign to prevent additional guests from lining up. Artists need 15 minutes after the end to clear their space.

If you would like to extend your time, our artists are happy to do so given availability! Let your artist know at least 40 minutes prior to the end of the event and be prepared to sign an Overtime Authorization Form. Extensions are billed on the following business day.
