General Caricature FAQ's

Space requirements vary by the number of artists you have at your event. Generally speaking, a 5x8 section of your venue / artist is sufficient but often cram into smaller spaces.

Do you need a table and chairs?

All of our caricature artists roll up the drawings and put them in tube bags to ensure a safe trip home.
