Best Ways to Add Art to Your Events 

Warm weather is just around the corner which means party season is underway. There are many ways you can support your local artists with your special events that you may not have thought of so here I am to give you a couple ideas!

Have an artist paint the space while you are in it. Live paintings are very in style right now and can add so much to the day! Whether it be a wedding, a family reunion after a couple summers apart, or dinner with friends, it is a sweet way to capture the memory that isn’t someone being on their phone or behind a camera. It’s also such a great conversation piece while it is being created as well as on your wall in your space.

Have a local artist create something either digital or a physical piece that they are okay with you scanning and putting on your invitations or stationary. Make sure you get permission from the artist for this, but it is a great way to show off the feel for the event whether that is playful and spunky or timeless elegance.

Have the artistmake you the art. Commission an artist to paint the clothes you are going to be wearing whether that be your shoes or your jean jacket you can be the walking art piece. There are also some pretty incredible textile artists that would be able to cover you in embroidery or macrame.

Have your event in an art gallery! In the month of February we had a beautiful ceremony in our space. The couple was able to commit their lives to one another surrounded by amazing art. We have also had things such as business lunches, baby showers and release parties within theses walls. The sky is the limit—and limited decor is needed. Let us know if you'd like to rent the gallery for your next event!

I hope this sparked some inspiration for adding another layer of creativity to your upcoming events!
