A: The Gathering Table ($25/month) gives you guaranteed Cafecito & Crafts access, a guest pass, and online community. The Creative Circle ($55/month) includes all of that PLUS one Play Date workshop ticket every month, monthly Artist Masterclasses, and quarterly creative meetups.

A: Play Date tickets reset monthly—they don't roll over. Think of it like a gym membership: creativity is a muscle, and consistency is how you build it. Your ticket is there when you need it, encouraging you to show up for your practice. If you miss a month, you simply use next month's ticket. This structure keeps pricing affordable while building the regular creative habit that actually transforms your practice.

A: Founding Members are the first people to join with an annual membership by the enrollment deadline. You get a numbered, limited-edition hat, a founding member certificate, and your rate is locked forever—even if we raise prices later. Monthly members cannot become Founding Members.

A: Because we're building real community, not just collecting members. Community requires consistent, repeatable practice—showing up for each other month after month, learning names, building trust, creating inside jokes and shared history. When we're constantly onboarding new people, we can't create that depth. So we open enrollment when we're ready to welcome new members thoughtfully, then we close and focus entirely on showing up for the community we have. Quality over quantity, always.

A: You still earn TAP Rewards stamps when you attend events! Your membership benefits and TAP Rewards benefits stack together—you get everything.

A: Yes! Upgrade from Gathering Table to Creative Circle anytime. Downgrades and monthly cancellations take effect at your next billing cycle. Annual memberships are non-refundable but you get the full year of access. Email us at naomi@thatartparty.com for any changes.
