It depends on your location! We’d love to bring the Cosmic Splat shuttle to your neighborhood for birthdays, holiday bashes, block parties, and graduation celebrations. However, before we can approve a residential booking, we need to verify two important details:1) Local Municipal & HOA Rules: City codes, street-parking ordinances, and HOA rules for commercial vehicles vary widely across different neighborhoods. We must review your exact address first to ensure a mobile studio is permitted to operate at your spot.2) Space & Safety Clearance: Our 26-foot studio requires a flat, paved space (at least 35' L × 15' W × 12' H) with room for guest entry, our ADA lift, and access to a standard 110V outlet if your event runs over 2 hours. (Check out our full Parking & Setup Requirements for complete site specs!)3) Deep Space Travel Surcharge: Galaxies 25 miles or beyond our home planet are subject to a travel surcharge to cover extra fuel and flight time.Submit your event details and exact address through our contact form, and we’ll review local parking rules and site clearance to see if we can bring the party to you!If your location isn't a fit, we’d love to see you at one of our Community Pop-Up Events!

The city can take 5 business days - 3 weeks to approve the permit, provided there are no hiccups. Booking early gives us a comfortable window to get all the paperwork approved so your event goes off without a hitch!If your city requires a permit, we recommend booking a month or more in advance to be safe. To make it a hassle-free experience for you, we handle the filing! You only need to provide us with the funds to cover the permit and the travel fee (if required) so we can schedule your event date. The Space: To safely operate the Cosmic Splat mobile studio and provide the best experience for our painters, we require a level, paved (or hard-packed) surface with the following clearances: The Parking Footprint: We need a dedicated space that is at least 35' long by 15' wide. This accommodates the 26' length and 8' width of our shuttle, while providing a buffer zone for our entry door, ADA lift, and our outdoor gear-up station.​ADA Lift: For all Community Pop-Up Events, we require 7' of unobstructed space on the passenger side of the shuttle. This allows the lift to fully extend and provides a safe turnaround radius for painters needing a little more room.​Vertical Clearance: Please ensure there are no low-hanging tree branches, power lines, or building overhangs lower than 12'.Surface Type: For the safety of our guests and our equipment, the bus must be parked on a flat, stable surface like concrete, asphalt, or very firm, level gravel. We cannot park on soft grass or inclines.No tight quarters or sharp 90-degree turns. Power Needs: Cosmic Splat is equipped with an onboard power station that keeps the shuttle comfortable and climate-controlled for up to 2 hours. If your event is longer than 2 hours, we just need access to a standard 110V/20-amp outlet (like a typical garage or outdoor socket) within 50 feet of our parking spot. If an outlet isn't available, we can also bring our quiet generator to keep the AC or heat running strong—just let us know if your venue allows one!The Cost: The only thing we ask you to cover is the cost of the temporary use permit if your city requires one and the travel fee if you are outside of our 25-mile range! The Hype: We’re in this together! To ensure a packed shuttle and a vibrant turnout, we ask our hosts to spread the word through social media, newsletters, and on-site signage. We’ll do the same on our end, tagging your business and sharing the event with our growing community of artistronauts. The Splat: We handle the logistics, the mess, and the instruction from start to finish.
