Question 1

Is there parking for the event?

Accepted Answer

Nearest parking will be BOLD LANE (DE1 3NT) or CHAPEL STREET - each a fair stroll away - bring the park card to my event and we'll swipe to cap what you pay afterwards. Assembly Rooms car park will be closed. On-street parking is payable up to 8pm. A few disabled badge spaces right outside.

Question 2

Will there be refreshments?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a complimentary welcome mocktail on arrival - a soft drink with an arty twist. The fully licensed bar will be open at the venue, should you wish to purchase more beverages (card payments only). You'll be able to help yourself to complimentary sweet and savoury snacks too.

Question 3

Can I pre-order a pack of these cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes - one event ticket option includes your personal pack to collect on the night at a special early bird price - OR - choose a ticket that is event-only  and then that amount will be applied towards your purchase of cards in person. A donation will go to Derby Museums from all Arteus sales.

Question 4

Can I wait and buy my pack on the night, after I have looked at it?

Accepted Answer

Yes - simply pick your ticket to only include entry to the event - and decide at the launch. Cash and card payments will be accepted on the night but there may be queues and there are only a limited number, so they may sell out before you grab yours if you leave it till then.

Question 5

Are they on sale already to the public?

Accepted Answer

No. They will only go on sale in my Etsy shop, Amazon, museum gift shops and beyond after this event. By being involved in this introduction to my trailblazing product, you will be the first to be able to own a pack or buy for the artist in your life, ahead of the general public.

Question 6

How much will the cards be in the shops?

Accepted Answer

They will retail at £25 per pack or more + p&p online after the launch

Question 7

Who will be there on the night?

Accepted Answer

You'll be there at the very start of this brand new motivational tool for creatives - It's a private event for ticket-holders only. Perhaps also  an ideal opportunity to network with creatives, local business owners and fellow artists too. Share your ideas and be inspired with other  joyful guests.

Question 8

How many of these will be made?

Accepted Answer

There will only be 150 decks available in total as ultimate First Edition sets in this exclusive limited run. Designed and developed here in Derby - Each pack will be numbered and signed by the artist. These are available to you before they go on sale to the general public.

Question 9

Why is there an admission fee to this party?

Accepted Answer

I want to make a sizeable donation to Derby Museums from this project - your ticket purchase ensures that I can do this. Your commitment to attend enables this event to sparkle even more and celebrate the heart of art in Derby - creating the power for artists to reach their true potential #Worldwide
