Facepainting and balloon art is $100/hour* for each artist. Note that we use only FDA-compliant cosmetic grade face paints and are insured. Airbrush artists and water-resistant paints (due to the higher cost of airbrush inks and paints) may have a higher rate (generally $125/hour*)... but please call for details. *Holiday and October prices are subject to change, based on availability. Please call for a quote.

We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. If you need to make a deposit by credit/debit card, give us a call and we can handle that over the phone.

Facepainting and party art is not just a hobby for us that brings in extra money on the side... it's our business! That's why we're licensed in the State of Nevada (NV20131162443) and are insured. If your event requires an Additional Insured COI, we can provide that, however there is an additional fee of $10... the processing cost of our insurance company to write up the certificate.

It's simple... with a booking fee, we know that you're serious about our services, and we block out the time (plus our travel) to make your party our priority. The booking fee confirms your reservation.

The deposit is applied against your party total. It is nonrefundable for cancellations within 72 hours, but can be applied to a rescheduled date and time.

Per our Art Services Contract, "Your booking fee ensures that we make no other bookings during the date and time of your event. Due to loss of potential clients by ArtParty4U in the event of a cancellation, the following policies apply: Should you need to reschedule your event, please do so at least 7 days prior and we will make every effort to meet your needs. Fees paid will be applied to future bookings if cancellation is between 3-7 days of event. Should Artist(s) get sick, every effort will be made to find a replacement Artist, but if we are not successful, the booking fee will be refunded. You will be responsible for payment of all rates and fees if cancellation is not made at least 72 hours in advance."

As part of our "ArtParty4U Gives Back" program, we do fundraisers... and generally schedule one per month, providing up to three hours of face painting for free for non-profit organizations. Additional hours are at normal rates, and all time is subject to availability of artists. Due to this limited availability, we may not be able to accommodate on short notice, as non-profit requested dates can fill up months in advance. If a free artist is not available (due to a non-profit event already being booked) other options would include paying our normal rate for artists, and selling tickets to recoup the cost; having a sponsor for our services; or setting up a pay-per-face event, where we wouldn't provide free face painting, but would charge a fee to each person painted. Please give us a call!

Nothing but a positive attitude! We provide all the needed painting supplies like canvas, brushes, paints, and easels! You may want to bring an apron or wear clothing that you wouldn't mind if paint gets on it, and paper towels or baby wipes are a plus (but not required).

Our hourly rate entitles you to have painted as many faces as we can do during that time. That said, larger and more complex designs take more time. Our guideline is: Cheek Art (and little art): 3 minutes (Average 20/hr) Half Face (small masks, etc): 2-4 minutes (Average 15/hr) Full Face: 5-15 minutes per design (4-12/hr) Full face effects work: 20 minutes and up In general, as most children's parties are a mix of small and half-face art, we recommend estimating time at about 4 minutes per child. Note that the above time estimates are strictly painting time, and the mid-ranges are a bit more realistic due to people normally needing to decide what they want painted. Please keep this in mind when planning your time -- and what you want us to do -- as if we start doing full face art, everybody starts wanting it! And plan for time for the adults, too!

We only use FDA-compliant, hypoallergenic, cosmetic grade paints. There are a few reasons for this. 1) You can't get quality results with sub-quality materials. 2) Insurance will not cover incidents caused by the use of non-FDA-compliant paints. A note on FDA compliant vs. FDA approved: The FDA only "approves" drugs and the pigments in cosmetics, so there isn't an "FDA-approved" makeup. However, cosmetics and makeup made with FDA-approved pigments and compliant ingredients is considered "FDA-compliant". Our water-based paints (used for most face and body painting) remove easily with baby wipes or just soap and water. For airbrush work, we use both water-based, and hybrid paints... our hybrid airbrush paint, while water-based, is water-resistant upon drying, lasting up to three days (unless removed with soap and water). We use hybrid paints upon special request, usually for special-effects makeup or in situations where extended wear is needed. For airbrush tattoos and extended-wear body art, we use alcohol-based airbrush ink, which can last up to 5 days with proper care. It will wear off gradually, but can be removed easily with rubbing alcohol or baby oil. Due to the cost of the paint, requests for it may incur an additional charge. We do NOT use "Black Henna" or Jagua paints, as Black Henna has a high incident of allergic reactions (and a warning from the FDA) and Jagua pigments are not FDA-compliant (with people having reactions similar to Black Henna). Although some companies use Jagua pigments, we do not risk it

Need effects work or more involved body painting (such as airbrush, prosthetics, etc)? That's normally a bit more involved than just the basic cosmetic paints (and can involve additional supplies). We LOVE doing this type of work, but can't guarantee that it can be at our basic hourly rate... we can guarantee that you'll get the best rate in Las Vegas, though! Contact us with more detailed information for a quote!

For the cheaper face painters, we firmly believe that you get what you pay for, and we'd suggest you ask these painters "Are you insured?", "Are you licensed in the state?", "Do you use FDA-compliant face paint?", and "How long have you been doing this?". See if they can answer these questions with "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", and "10+ years" (Which we can). For the more expensive artists, our goal when starting the company was to make quality body art available to everybody... and, after all, it is temporary art. We decided to go for quality service at a reasonable price -- and we haven't regretted it! Because of our combination of quality and price, our artists are always working. We don't have a "slow season"... and that volume means we can afford to keep our prices reasonable! Keep in mind that, due to our quality combined with rates, our schedule books very quickly... even with our team of artists, booking within two weeks of an event may have very limited availability.

We can do hundreds of designs... but they all look like dogs (sorry... that's a cheesy joke). But seriously, we can do all sorts of animals (like dogs, elephants, turtles, mice, parrots, giraffes, swans, etc), plus fun things like swords, hats, flowers... and our artists love playing with their balloons to make new stuff every week! If you're looking for a certain type of twist or theme, let us know... if we don't currently make it, we'll add it!

Although we can make larger sculptures, we choose not to do those in a party setting, as our artists are there to make balloons quickly and get as many balloons into the hands of the little ones as possible (and make more when they inevitably pop).

Absolutely! Our Certified Ross Instructor, Ed Mueller, has trained in the Bob Ross wet-on-wet oil painting technique, and is approved to officially teach this method.

A Certified Ross Instructor (CRI) has been trained by a Bob Ross Certified Teacher Trainer, and has demonstrated the necessary skills to teach the methods that Bob Ross used in his television series "The Joy of Painting". Under the instruction of a CRI, you'll be secure in knowing that the methods you are learning are true to the way Bob Ross wanted his method taught. Note that CRI's are not employees of Bob Ross Incoroprated.

This is our #1 question... but it's true, all our projects are designed to be completed in one session. Yes, some sessions are a bit longer than others, but are no longer than 4 hours (for larger oil projects). You'll have a completed painting ready to take home at the end of class!

Most sessions are approximately 2 hours, except oil painting which is approximately 3 hours.

We want to keep art accessible. As classes are generally 2 hours, our cost for classes is generally about $12/hour for each person -- which includes supplies! Per person costs for art parties: Childrens Classes=$20 Watercolor Classes=$20 Watercolor Classes on canvas=$25 Acrylic Painting Classes (approx 2 hours)=$25 Oil Painting Classes (approx 3 hours)=$40 We do have Group, Family, and Military discounts. Be sure to ask!

As far as art supplies... NOTHING! We provide all that, and it is included in the cost of the class. If you are scrapbooking, you may want to bring pictures, however. You only need to provide your own drinks and/or food as determined by the party host.

Well, it's your party, but if there's paint involved, you may not want to wear evening-wear. We do provide aprons, though!

If we felt you wanted to do a coloring book, we think you'd just go buy one! Unlike many of the other art party locations, our projects use no templates or tracings -- your art will be totally unique! But, we will help you if you want. We hold very firmly to the idea that we are more 'Guides' than 'Instructors'. Our art parties provide the tools (materials, techniques, and guidance) to create a work of art, and you go ahead and run with it! We'll help as much or as little as you feel comfortable with!

"I don't see anything quite like I want" We have way more classes than we show in our galleries (15 years of teaching is a LOT of projects!), and also can custom design projects to bring your theme to life! Give us a call, with your idea... If we don't already have a project, we'll create one to your specifications!

A single photo station is $150 per hour. This includes background (either static or green-screen) and physical props. An additional station is $100 per hour Pictures are delivered digitally, to email or text, and all photos are also available online in the event's photo gallery.

We can print 4x6 color photos at $75 per hour per station. Note that all your photos are available on your online event page, so a more economical option might be to download all your photos and have them printed at an online photo service (like CVS or Walgreens).

Green screen is a station capability where a green background is set up for the station. The provided digital picture is then combined in real time with the photo participants, resulting in anything you want as a background. The requirements of the background photo need to be a high-quality picture, of minimum dimensions of 1280x960 pixels. There is no additional charge for green screen setup.

Yes! Much like green screen, we can create a photo overlay that will put your event logo where you want it in the photo (for example, lower right, upper left, etc). If you provide us with your logo and where you want it to appear, we can create your custom overlay for your event. Please ask for details when setting up your photo booth event. If custom logos need to be created by us, there may be an additional charge. Please contact us for details.
