FUNCTIONS
AT THE ART CLUB HUB
We love celebrating special occasions and what better way to celebrate than a party, with art?! Whether you're celebrating your work Christmas party, a Hen’s Day or a special family birthday, The Art Club Hub has a function perfect for you!
Our functions run for 3 hours in total and are hosted by your very own art host/s.
WHAT'S THE FUNCTION STRUCTURE?
Guests arrive at the designated time and are invited to put on an art apron and select a pre-designed canvas that they wish to paint from our current selection of approximately 30 designs. Our pre-printed canvasses are simple designs that allow our guests to successfully paint them whether they have years of artistic experience or none. Our art coaches will give guidance to those that feel they need more assistance.
Guests proceed to paint their artwork while enjoying drinks and food that they have brought in or that has been supplied by their host.
Expect guests to take 2.5 - 3 hours to complete their canvas while enjoying themselves socialising and eating & drinking.
*We ask that the function family/host doesn’t arrive more than 10 minutes before the function start time. We’ll have the art room all set up for you.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WE HOLD A FUNCTION FOR?
We have space for 50 seated painter’s across two levels, approx. half upstairs in our Sky Studio and half downstairs in our Art Room. We have a minimum of 12 guests for exclusive use of our art studio/s.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Our art experience for adult groups (corporate, club and friendship groups) costs $39 per person, inclusive of GST. This price includes exclusive use of our art studio/s. One or more experienced art coache/s (depending on number of guests) who are on hand to give painting guidance and assist with your needs.
WHAT CAN WE BRING TO EAT AND DRINK?
If your function is for all over 18s then you are most welcome to BYO alcohol or any other non alcoholic beverage. Guests are welcome to provide their own food. Many have chosen to provide grazing platters or bring take-away. Please note that we have limited fridge space and do not have facilities to heat up or keep food warm.

ARTY FUNCTION FAQ
WHEN SHOULD I PAY?
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required when booking. Full payment must be completed one week prior to your function once we have called to confirm numbers.
WHAT IF A PARTY GUEST HAS FOOD ALLERGIES?
It is your responsibility to make sure that you are aware of whether any of your party guests have any food allergies and cater to that. We have a no NUT policy at The Art Club Hub.
DO I NEED TO HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE TO PAINT?
No, not at all. Our art functions are aimed at being a beginners level with an emphasis on fun. Guests choose what pre-designed canvas they would like to paint and paint it their way. Art coaches will be on hand to offer advice where needed.
ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED AT OUR FUNCTION?
Absolutely, our functions are personalised to our guests and you may invite the people that you would like to. Our staff are here to help you make your function amazing.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I’M RUNNING LATE?
The painting session will start 10 mins after the ‘start’ time however, if you’re running late, it’s fine. Our art function host can get you up to speed in no time.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We supply an apron for our guests to wear during the art function but that only covers so much of your clothing. You may want to wear old clothes or clothes that are fine to get paint on. Once dry, acrylic paint does not wash out of clothing.
DO WE HAVE TO COPY THE ARTWORK EXACTLY?
Nope, we love to see people really personalise their artworks with all sorts of variations, different colours, flowers etc. Go for it! We’re so excited to see what you come up with.
WHERE CAN WE PARK?
We are located down near the Peel St end of Bridge Mall. During business hours, guests can park on the street (at a cost) or park for free in either the BIG W carpark or the Supermarkets carpark. After hours guests can park along Peel St and in the Little Bridge Street parks for free. These are the closest parks to our art space. Once the Bridge Mall redevelopment is complete, the middle road will be opened to cars and we will have disabled parking located directly in front of our shop.
*Please note that we want our guests to have a positive, fun and creative experience. Any guests that are behaving in an unruly or unsafe manner and making others uncomfortable will be asked to leave.
Get in contact with us to discuss your individual functions needs. We’d love to tailor an event so it’s the perfect fit for you and your group!
