ALCOHOL
Loaded Brushes is a BYOB establishment. We do not sell any alcohol. We want everyone to have a good time, and we ask that you drink responsibly. Please remember to be kind, courteous and respectful. Not everyone will be drinking alcohol and we want everyone to enjoy themselves. We have bottled water and canned drinks available for purchase as mixers or an alternative to alcohol. We will help you contact a cab, friends, family, Uber for any one that needs a ride home.

DAMAGED PROPERTY
Loaded Brushes is not responsible for any damage that may happen to your personal property. This is an art studio, there is paint everywhere! Please wear comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting permanently stained. We use acrylic paint and it will not come out of your clothes. We have aprons, but they do not cover everything. We suggest keeping your purses/handbags away from your painting station. You can stash them around the drink/snack tables, but your best bet is to leave those big, expensive, fabulous bags at home. We are not liable for any lost or stolen items.
PERSONAL INJURY
Loaded Brushes is not responsible for any accident or injury to you inside or outside of the studio. Please drink responsibly! You and your guests are solely responsible for any accident/injury that is cause by the consumption of alcohol. Inside or out of the studio.
