Heart for Art reserves the right to delay or cancel a Paint Party at any time due to class size, weather, tech issues, sickness, etc.
We'll do our best to start on time, but sometimes things happen that are out of our control, things that might mean we have to delay or cancel your Paint Party.
And, we want to stay in business so we have to make sure we cover our overheads. That means we need minimum numbers to run in person Paint Parties.
If we have to delay or cancel your Paint Party, we'll get in touch with you as soon as possible. If the delay means you can no longer make it, or if we have to cancel your Paint Party, we'll give you the option of rescheduling or we'll give you a credit towards another session. We won't issue refunds.
We're not responsible for your clothing. You've come to an environment where there's gonna be paint, so please don't wear your best Armani outfit or Jimmy Choos. We'll supply you with a paint shirt and paint towel to protect your clothing, but ultimately it's up to you to dress appropriately.
Check "What should I wear?" in our FAQs for tips.
You'll need to accompany your kids. Kids aged 7 and over are welcome in our studio but only if they promise to behave and are accompanied by a grown up (who also promises to behave). You'll need to purchase tickets for each of you. Our public events are not really suitable for kids under 9 years old.
We love kids, but we're not a baby sitting service so you can't just drop your kids off and leave. Sorry, but unaccompanied kids under the age of 15 wont be let in.
