A Brussels evening with a centre
Brussels hosts European conventions, association galas and end-of-year parties in former stations and factories turned into vast spaces. In those volumes, a painter at work creates a point where people gather: they come closer, watch, return to see how far the canvas has come.
Giulia paints the room and its guests, a motif of the city, the brand colours, or the scene of the evening’s high point. She can also sketch the guests one by one, and each takes their own away.
In practice, for a company in Brussels
Send the date, the venue and the number of guests. Giulia replies within 48 hours with a free, itemised quote that slots into a communications budget, and an invoice made out to the company. Two complimentary sketches, adjusted with you.
She speaks four languages, which counts at a Brussels evening where the guests come from across Europe. She arrives with her easel and her paints, follows your running order, and the signed canvas stays with the company the same evening.
Event venues in Brussels
Giulia travels to the event venues of the city: Tour & Taxis, the former goods station brought back to life, twenty-five spaces that host from two to fifteen thousand participants; Autoworld, in the Cinquantenaire park, up to one thousand five hundred guests; the Square Brussels Meeting Centre and its modular rooms up to three hundred and fifty people; the Hôtel Le Plaza, the Concert Noble and the Event Lounge. And to the European headquarters, offices and showrooms of the city.
She also works in Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Leuven, Namur, Liège, Waterloo, La Hulpe, Tervuren, Uccle, Ixelles and Saint-Gilles, and travels on to Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Frankfurt.
Your questions, before booking
How do I organise live painting for a company evening in Brussels?
Tell Giulia Dal Bon the date, the venue and the occasion, and she brings your idea to life with you. She offers you a free quote within 48 hours. Before the day, you choose the size and the subject together, and she prepares the composition if needed. On the day, she paints in front of your guests, evening in Brussels, and the signed painting is yours that same day. The invoice is made out to the company. Live painting for a company evening starts at 900 €.
Who paints live at corporate events in Brussels?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in galleries, paints murals in sixteen countries, and paints live on stage and at evening events: at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, and at the Festival Gaber in Camaiore on 6 July 2017, alongside the guitarist Gianni Martini. She speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish, and comes to Brussels as she does all over Europe, to a congress centre or to your own offices.
Does Giulia really travel as far as Belgium?
Yes, she works in sixteen countries in Europe and travelling is part of the job. Travel and logistics are agreed together and written on a separate line of the quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can we book live painting for an end-of-year party?
That is the busiest period, between November and January. Send her your date as early as you can: she replies within 48 hours and tells you straight away whether it holds, with the milestones written into the quote.
And for an evening in English or in Dutch?
Giulia speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish, and painting itself is watched in every language. For the organising, the exchange happens in English or in French.
How much does live painting cost for a company evening?
From €900 for a live performance, and the length is decided with you: twenty minutes during a speech, an hour at the drinks reception, or the whole evening. Portraits of your guests, sketched during the evening, start at €1,200. A large format or a full day starts at €2,400. Giulia Dal Bon sends a free quote within 48 hours, itemised line by line so it slots into a budget, with an invoice made out to the company.
What exactly does the company receive?
The canvas, signed, handed over the same evening. The high-resolution file of the painting, for your internal communications, your intranet and your social media. The invoice made out to the company, itemised line by line.
What happens to the painting after the evening?
It stays with the company, hung in reception or in a meeting room: it is the trace of the evening, and everyone who was there recognises it. It can also be given to a departing director, handed to a client, auctioned for a charity, or drawn among the guests. Giulia signs it if you wish.
Can the logo or the brand colours go into the painting?
Yes. Giulia also studied graphic design at the Brera Academy: she draws the lettering by hand and builds the canvas around the company’s colours. The logo can appear painted, or stay out and let the palette speak. It is decided beforehand, on the two complimentary sketches, with your management or your agency.
Can the team take part?
Yes, in three ways. Giulia paints the large canvas of the evening, the venue or the brand motif, and your guests write on it whatever they like: the work leaves with their words on it, like a painted guest book. Everyone can also add a brushstroke, or each team can paint a section that she then ties together. And she paints watercolour portraits of the guests, one by one, each of them leaving with their own. Tell her how many people and how much time you have, and she adapts.
What does Giulia need on site?
A square of about two metres by two, a power socket and some light. She arrives with her easel, her canvases and her paints, protects the floor around her and leaves with her own equipment. The acrylic she uses dries fast, so the canvas leaves the same evening.
Where has Giulia already painted live?
On stages, in theatres, at weddings and at company evenings: she has painted live hundreds of times, dozens of them with the piano and painting show she performs as a duo. Two of those dates are public: at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, for Play Green, she painted alongside the illustrator Francesco Barcella, on a reclaimed wooden panel supplied by the Di Nuovo craftsmen. And on 6 July 2017, in Camaiore, for the fourteenth Festival Gaber, she painted under the Arco di Via Vittorio Emanuele beside the guitarist Gianni Martini. The links are on the Press page.
