Your $100 deposit secures your party date and is non-refundable. -However, if you were to cancel your party after paying the deposit then the full amount would be placed in your account as a credit for anyone in your family to use towards any future Total Arts event, class, or party. - If you do not use the credit within a year we will transfer it to our scholarship fund.

We often book parties 2-3 months in advance although you may find we have a last minute open date available. -You can find a list of available dates on the Party Request Form, but the most up-to-date list is found in your Total Arts account under the Birthday Deposits tab in the Store.

In most cases, yes! -We have successfully hosted parties for children and party guests who are neurodivergent -We do realize that each child is unique and we appreciate your concerns. -If you call and talk to us before booking a party we can help determine if we are able to properly support your child's needs and/or the needs of their party guests.

While the party deposit is due when you book in order to secure your date, the remaining balance is due at the party. - Some families do choose to pay it in advance so they do not have to worry about it at the party.

Yes and no. -We only list available week-end dates but we can sometimes accommodate week-day parties depending on our schedule. -Feel free to reach out if you want to hold a party during the week to see if we can make it happen.

The headcount for party guests includes all children who will be participating in the main party activity, including the birthday child.​ -The headcount does NOT include adults or non-participating siblings who stay onsite but do not participate.

Unfortunately, no. -We find that for most parties 1.5 hours is just the right amount of time to get through every element of the celebration (2.0 hours for a Deluxe party). -Down time often leads to activities or behaviors that are not suitable for our setting. We are primarily an art studio, not a play space. - After having run over 100 parties & events in our current space we are confident in the time frames we set up for each package.

Good question! -If most of the party guests will be under 5 then the Family Party is the correct option to provide age-appropriate activities. -If most of the guests will be 5 & up then you may choose a Classic or Premium package. Currently, our Deluxe-only options are for ages 7 & up.

In most cases, yes! -We have an additional space for adults and non-participating siblings to wait during the main activity. -If a party is particularly large, (20+ guests), we may need to limit the number of additional people who stay onsite.
