Frequently asked questions
What are the pricing options for team building art sessions?
Team building art sessions cost £59.50 per person (excluding VAT) for the basic art activity with expert tutors. If you want alcoholic drinks included (beer and white wine), the price increases to £72.50 per person (excluding VAT). Sessions typically run for 2-3 hours minimum.
How does the booking and payment process work?
To secure your booking, you'll need to pay a 30% holding deposit of the total amount, which reserves the date and studio space. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your event. The venue will issue invoices through their finance team once dates are confirmed.
What are the viewing hours and how do I arrange a site visit?
The venue is open for viewings Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. You can arrange a tour by contacting them directly to book a specific time slot with their team.
Can I bring external catering and what are the restrictions?
External catering is allowed, and you can use the kitchen facilities for reheating and plating based on the nature of your event. However, they have approved drinks suppliers or charge corkage fees for alcohol. Food is not usually allowed in the studios, though exceptions may be made depending on your event.
What catering options are available on-site?
The venue can provide grazing platters with meats and cheeses at approximately £15 per person (excluding VAT). They don't typically allow food in studios but can make exceptions for certain events.
What equipment and furniture is provided for events?
The venue provides rectangular wooden trestle tables (enough for up to 50 guests), a 5-meter wide screen projector with high-quality speakers, and all necessary art supplies and materials. Power is available throughout the space.
What are the capacity limits for different spaces?
The auditorium can accommodate up to 70 people in classroom layout. Studio spaces can handle various group sizes, with some accommodating 150-200 people for larger events. Specific capacity depends on the chosen space and layout requirements.
Are there any restrictions on setup requirements or event duration?
You can arrange setup times based on your needs - some events have required 4+ hours for setup. The venue is flexible with timing arrangements and can accommodate events requiring specific ceiling heights (minimum 3m available) and space dimensions (up to 8m length in some studios).
Can I bring my own decorators and what approval is needed?
External decorators are allowed without requiring specific approval processes mentioned. You can bring your own setup materials including flowers and decorations, and the venue will provide guidance on entrance access and directions for your guests.
What is the venue's location and accessibility?
The Art Academy is located at Triptych Bankside, 185 Park Street, London SE1 9BL, in the heart of Bankside next to Tate Modern and near the River Thames. The location offers excellent transport links and is easily accessible for attendees traveling from across the country.
