5-Minute Portrait Booth: Can YOU Sit Still for Five Minutes?

LV5MinutePortraits | instagram.com/lv5minuteportraits

Welcome artist Laura Vahlberg for a two-hour session of five-minute portraits of your neighbors. The portraits can serve as a time to pose with, and connect to, a dear neighbor – or a new acquaintance. Together they can form the basis of a neighborhood gallery show or celebrate a neighborhood event or milestone. The possibilities are endless! In two hours, expect the artist to make around 22 portraits.

Participants: Portraits are more fun when there’s a crowd around. Consider adding this in as an element for an event with anywhere from 30 to 1,000 participants.
Ages: All
Value: $400.00
Requirements: Please provide at least six square feet of flat floor space, either outdoors or indoors. If it’s a nighttime event, please provide access to electricity for lighting.
