Rooms

Back Room

The larger Back Room is approximately 840 square feet.

Includes direct access to our two single use restrooms.

  (one has a changing table, one is wheelchair accessible)

Includes direct access to the kitchen area, for food storage & prep 

  (no onsite cooking)

This room can easily be set up with tables & chairs for meetings or projects, or it can be left as an open area.

The primary access is through our main entrance and the smaller front room. There is also a separate back entrance which can be accessed if the front room is in use.

Front Room

The smaller Front Room is approximately 520 square feet.

 

Includes the seating area/lobby and a main open area.

A perfect way to provide a hang-out space for parents and siblings.

This front space can be rented independently or along with the back room and can be configured for children, youth, or adults.

Restroom and kitchen access are both through the back room.*

*NOTE: If another group is renting the Back Room, then those in the Front Room would use the shared building restrooms in the hallway instead and there would be no access to the kitchen.

CONTRACT COMPENSATION:

  - You will be paid a contract employee fee for the workshop or event which will be determined before the workshop is confirmed.

  - Compensation will be mutually determined based on the experience & training of the instructor, the workshop format, materials required, etc.

  - The minimum number of participants required to run the workshop will be determined together as part of the contract. We usually recommend 5.

  - As a contracted employee, no taxes will be withheld at the time of payment and you will not be issued a W2. An I-9 will be issued if you earn over $600 from Total Arts in a calendar year.

  - You are responsible for reporting your income & paying any relevant taxes with your personal tax return.

  - You must provide Total Arts! with proof of employment eligibility (such as a copy of a US passport, OR both a valid driver's license AND a SSN).

The Fine Print:

Total Arts! maximum capacity is 57 people over both spaces, including any TA staff onsite.

If your group is larger than 30 people you must rent/use both areas.

Kitchen area has a microwave/convection oven, fridge with freezer, and sink, but not a full oven or range. No cooking is allowed in the kitchen. It is only to be used for food storage and for setting up items for service (reheating, defrosting, warming, organizing, and/ or assembling prepared food items). 

Two single use bathrooms have direct access in the larger room. One is wheelchair accessible. One has a changing table.

Rental of the second space by another group at the same time as your event is a possibility.

- If both rooms are rented by different groups then those in the Back Room would use the direct access bathrooms, while the group in the Front Room would use the building restrooms in the hallway.

- Each room can use a separate entry if both rooms are rented at the same time.

- If you wish to guarantee that another group won't use the second space during your workshop we recommend renting both spaces.
