Unexpected Vendor at your corporate event: The Guest Portrait Artist
When planning a corporate event, it's easy to focus on the traditional vendors like caterers, venues, and entertainment. However, there's one unexpected vendor that can add a unique and memorable touch to your event: the guest portrait artist.
Why Hire a Guest Portrait Artist?
Unique and Memorable: Guest portrait artists offer a one-of-a-kind experience that your guests will remember. It's a fun and interactive activity that breaks the ice and encourages networking.
Personalized Keepsakes: Guests will cherish their personalized portraits as a lasting memento of the event.
Brand Building: Guest portraits can be branded with your company logo or event theme, reinforcing your brand and creating a lasting impression.
Team Building: A guest portrait artist can be a great icebreaker and team-building activity, encouraging employees to interact and connect with each other.
How to Choose the Right Guest Portrait Artist
When selecting a guest portrait artist, consider the following:
Style: Choose an artist whose style aligns with your event's theme and the overall tone you want to create.
Experience: Look for an artist with experience working at corporate events. They will be familiar with the unique challenges and expectations of this type of event.
Turnaround Time: Ensure that the artist can deliver the portraits within a reasonable timeframe, especially if you want guests to take them home with them. Some artists offer the option to finish portraits in studio! When I go this route I typically send the portraits back to one person to disperse out.
Incorporating Guest Portrait Artists into Your Event
Networking Break: Set up a dedicated area for the artist to work, and encourage guests to stop by during a networking break.
Icebreaker Activity: Have the artist create a group portrait of your team to kick off the event.
Event Favors: Offer framed guest portraits as a unique and personalized favor for your attendees.
By hiring a guest portrait artist, you can add a unique and memorable touch to your corporate event. Not only will it provide your guests with a personalized keepsake, but it can also help to build your brand and create a lasting impression.
