THE GROOVY GATHERING
Looking for something to do with a small group of friends, and don't want to wait for a scheduled class? Call us to reserve a table for a GROOVY GATHERING. Nearly any class or craft can be setup as a GROOVY GATHERING. Intended for 4-6 people, you pay in advance and we reserve a table for you and set it up with the craft of your choice. Great for small henna, painting or jewelry making parties. You can bring your own food and drink (BYOB) for these gatherings. Prices are based on the craft or art project scheduled for your gathering.

PARTY ACTIVITIES
GROUPS
GROUP OUTINGS
Outings can be scheduled Monday - Friday 12 noon - 6 PM and allow for smaller groups.
GROUP INNINGS - If your group cannot get out, call to discuss an Inning!
We understand there may be cases where small groups cannot come to the studio. Parents may also want to add Arts & Crafts to a birthday party being hosted at home. In these cases you can schedule an Inning and we'll bring the Arts & Crafts projects to you! Innings are limited to Canvas Painting, Wood Craft and Seasonal/Holiday crafts.
Innings for groups are 2 hours in length unless otherwise scheduled, and groups should plan an additional 20 minutes for setup and 20 minutes for breakdown clean up. Host must also provide cleaning supplies.
FUNDRAISING
RAD ART offers a unique opportunity in the community for fundraising events. The studio can booked for part of the day or the full day for multiple sessions. If your group can sell anywhere between 25 - 150 tickets to an event, we can help you raise needed funds and create an art event which has a theme appropriate to your cause.
