Testimonials

"Our teambuilding workshop at RCA was relaxing and engaging, a great way to bond with colleagues. Our instructor was thorough and pleasant to work with. They provided us with clear instructions and a walkthrough of the space and materials, then let us loose to create handmade books of our own design.”

-Forbes Library Staffer

“Our team is friendly but doesn't often get the chance to spend time together outside of work like this. This workshop reminded us that we are all creative, inspired folks who are just fun to be around! Would highly recommend for future team field trips!"

-Forbes Library Staffer

“It was great having Resilient Community Arts help with the art activities at my Bat Mitzvah. The staff were very nice and let me look through their materials to find ideas. It was awesome working with RCA. I definitely recommend them if you want art to be a part of any party or event!”

-Callie

"We were thrilled to have Resilient Community Arts provide art activities at my daughter Callie's Bat Mitzvah. From the beginning, they did a great job of taking Callie's ideas and adjusting them into something that would work well for a group. They took her input for materials and design of the components they provided, so that the art matched her chosen aesthetic for the day. On the day of, all ages participated! The art tables were busy the whole time, and I think the staff even stayed late to accommodate people who just would not stop crafting. RCA was delightful to work with, and I highly recommend them!”

-Callie's Bat Mitzvah

“The studio has a huge variety of materials to work with, in a comfy and warm environment. We could have spent the whole day there!”

FAQs

  • You may cancel your event up to one week prior, before we send you your final invoice. Unfortunately once that invoice is sent, the event must be paid for in full regardless of if it happens or not.

  • We do require a 40% non-refundable deposit to lock your event in, due one month from the big day; this covers the costs of any materials we may need to purchase for your activity and some of our admin costs. That deposit IS deducted from your final invoice though!

  • Darn near everyone! Have something to celebrate? Let's party! Connecting with friends? We'll give you a shared activity! Team-building with total strangers? Let US break the ice! From fundraisers to college groups to corporate events, we're happy to host!

  • Absolutely! All of the prices quoted above only cover a two-hour experience so anything longer will increase the cost, but we're happy to work with you if you need more time in the studio than that.

  • Any food or beverages you'd like to have, decorations and/or paper goods if you didn't purchase those add-ons, and your sense of creativity!

  • Weapons or anything that may be construed as a weapon, illegal substances, and hate of any kind. Don't be a downer, man! Also please note Eastworks is a smoke-free environment, so any such indulgences must be done outside the building entirely.

  • Hosts are allowed in half an hour before the event starts to set up.

  • The short answer is probably yes, though it may cost more than the prices listed above. All of these activities are really best suited to people 8 and over, so if the average age of your attendees is under that we may need to work with you to figure out something more appropriate for your kiddos. Also please note we need one of our safety and liability waivers completed for ANY minor being left by their parent or guardian with us for ANY of these bookings, even if everyone else there is an adult.

  • We can be booked up to 5 months in advance, though we need a MINIMUM of one month.

  • Our studio can comfortably fit up to 25 individuals, many more than that and we risk a fire hazard. But there is NO minimum; you can technically book an event for just yourself (we won't stop you, though you may be more interested in signing up for one of our studio memberships, found here).

  • First of all don't panic, just breathe! Better? Good! Your guest count can change up to 2 weeks in advance; this gives us enough notice to potentially get more supplies. Past that point you're welcome to ask, but we may not be able to accommodate extra people, so it may be safer to plan on a slightly larger group from the get-go (though we can't offer refunds for guests who don't end up coming).

  • You may bring, *ahem*, adult beverages, BUT we absolutely must be notified in advance and you need to bring your own means of opening it, as RCA staff are not allowed to help do so.

  • Most certainly! We get it, sometimes stuff just comes up, and it'd be downright rotten to miss out on your fun event just because the worst happened. We need a week minimum's notice to reschedule, but the deposit can still be applied to your final invoice so long as it's rescheduled within three months of the original date.

  • They're art-themed, so they include crayons, some stickers, a mini booklet, nut-free candy, and a small toy, all ready to hand out. The deluxe bags get a couple extra items and the booklet is upgraded to a small sketch book.

  • And we've got answers! Drop us a line at info@resilientcommunityarts.org and we'll be happy to answer any further queries you might have!
