Do I need any painting experience?

Where do I park near The Crane & Pelican Cafe?

There's free parking at or near The Crane & Pelican Cafe.

Can I order food and drinks during the event?

Yes — the bar and cocktail list stays open while you paint. Food and drinks are ordered from and paid to the venue, and aren't part of your seat price.

How early should I arrive?

Doors open 30 minutes before the painting starts. Come early, grab your seat and order a drink — the artist starts on time.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes — The Crane & Pelican Cafe has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restrooms. If you have specific seating needs, contact the venue ahead of the event and they'll set you up.
