Terms of Gathering
Plain-language notes on event scheduling, non-profit transparency, material safety, and studio kindness across Southeast Houston to Galveston Bay, TX.
1. Preview Lookbook & Sample Gatherings
Descriptions, sample project concepts, and studio lookbook images on Exploring Arts show the creative spirit of parties, crafts, and outreach activities you can plan with founder Hillary Osteen. Until real community party photographs are added, all lookbook images are custom-generated studio mood artwork. Final event dates, project supplies, pricing quotes, and venue setup details are always confirmed directly with you before booking.
2. Independent Business & Non-501(c)(3) Disclosure
Exploring Arts operates as an independent community-minded art business based in Webster, Texas, and is not a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Any studio-sponsored Share a Brush seats, gifted kits, or neighbor kindness contributions are direct studio-and-community generosity rather than tax-deductible charitable donations.
3. Youth Supervision, Safety & Allergies
We bring joyful, washable, non-toxic studio supplies suited to the ages at your table. For all kids and teen gatherings, an authorized parent, guardian, host, or venue coordinator remains present on site while Hillary leads art instruction. Please let us know ahead of time about severe allergies, latex sensitivities, gluten-free paper mache paste requests, or fragrance sensitivities so we can plan safe materials.
4. Kind Scheduling & Weather Flexibility
Life happens, kids get sniffles, and Gulf Coast weather shifts fast. If rain threatens an outdoor party or someone in the circle wakes up unwell, contact us right away at (832) 913-9538 or hello@exploringarts.com so we can move indoors or reschedule smoothly with zero stress.
5. Creative Materials & Texas Law
Written guides, artwork, branding, and custom lesson designs presented by Hillary Osteen and Exploring Arts remain our creative property for personal and event enjoyment, not commercial resale without permission. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
