• Is there food? Where do I get water?

  • There will be a shared meal provided (if you have included it with your ticket) on Saturday night. Otherwise please bring your own! 

  • A water station will be available to all attendees

• Are drinks/weed allowed?

  • Yes, but you’ll need to bring your own and use responsibly. If we are notified of disrespectful, violent, or inappropriate behavior, you may be asked to leave.

• What is the camping like? What’s the bathroom situation?

  • Camping is available on site (if you would like to camp, opt into this with your ticket purchase) for 50 guests in a designated meadow. The land is flat, soft, and close to parking. A row of clean port-o-potties are available to all festival attendees. 

• What kind of activities will there be outside of attending a performance/installation/etc?

  • Forest Creek is a beautiful property with space for lounging in the grass, a short hike, or swimming/hanging by the creek. We only ask that you don’t disrupt a performance wherever you are.

• Are animals allowed?

  • Unfortunately no, unless they are a service animal!

• Where do I park?

  • There is a gravel lot to you right when you drive in. Park there! 

• How accessible is the festival?​

  • ​ART PARTY festival takes place throughout a property that includes a meadow, grove, creek, and paths. Navigating the property to the various performance locations includes walking through uneven ground, not all of which is wheelchair accessible. Performances of longer duration will have folding chairs or wooden benches provided. If you'd prefer to bring a chair of your own that works better for your body, we'd be happy to move and set that up for you between performances. Performance pieces with text will not have ASL interpretation, but we'd be happy to share a transcript with attendees, if requested. For guests who opt to camp onsite, we recommend bringing earplugs as a Dj'd dance party will occur on Saturday night. If you have accessibility questions or needs, please feel free to reach out so that we can be in collaboration about how to support you.

• What is leave-no-trace?

  • We ask that you throw away all trash and recycling and leave the land and indoor spaces how you found it. We want to honor and preserve Forest Creek as much as possible!

• Can I come at any time? When do I need to leave?

  • Programm

  • We ask that Saturday attendees arrive by 4pm

  • All guests will need to leave the property by 4pm on Sunday
