We love collaborating with local businesses to create a vibrant community atmosphere! If your location is within 25 miles of Thornton, CO, we typically waive all travel and setup fees to make the partnership as seamless as possible.​

The only thing we ask our hosts to cover is the city-required temporary use permit (typically around $100). This makes hosting a Cosmic Splat Community Pop-up Event a high-impact, cost-effective way to bring a splash of neon energy to your venue. While your customers enjoy a unique, pay-to-paint experience, you benefit from increased foot traffic and a standout event that keeps the community talking.

How it works:

​

Temporary Use Permit: Most cities require Cosmic Splat to file for a temporary use permit to set up, even when we are operating on private property. This administrative process typically takes about 10 days to complete, provided there are no hiccups with the local municipality. Booking early gives us a comfortable window to get all the paperwork approved so your event goes off without a hitch! We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. 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 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 grass or inclines.

​

No tight quarters or sharp 90-degree turns.

Power Needs: To keep the studio comfortable, we require access to a standard 110V/20-amp outlet (like a typical garage or outdoor socket) within 45 feet of our parking spot. This ensures we can run our climate control systems, keeping the vibe cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.

​

The Cost: The only thing we ask you to cover is the cost of the temporary use permit! In Thornton, the fee is currently $90.

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. Your community enjoys an all-inclusive $25+tax community pop-up rate, while you get the credit for hosting the most talked-about event in the neighborhood. It’s a complete turnkey experience for your space.

The Glow-Up: Beyond just attracting new faces, a Cosmic Splat Community Pop-up Event is the ultimate re-engagement tool. It gives your regulars a fresh, exciting reason to put your business back on their radar and see your brand in a whole new (neon) light.
