What Giulia can offer for your evening
Tell her what you are looking for, she suggests one option or several, and the evening is built with you.
During the evening
The canvas of the evening, signed by your guests: Giulia paints the room, the city or the brand motif in front of everyone, and each person comes and writes their word on the canvas. The work stays with the company, with the guests’ hands on it. From 900 €.
Watercolour portraits of the guests: on watercolour paper, one by one, alone or as a team, and each guest leaves with their own the same evening. From 1 200 €.
The canvas painted by your teams: each team paints one part, Giulia links the pieces and holds the composition, and the whole ends up as a single image on your wall. It is the seminar format. From 900 €.
The logo, the product or the winner’s name, painted by hand: the lettering is drawn by hand, the canvas is built in the colours of the house, and a winner’s name can appear during the ceremony and be handed over on stage. Giulia also studied graphic design at the Brera Academy. Included in the canvas of the evening, from 900 €.
The piano and painting show: Orlando at the piano, Giulia at the easel, and the painting revealed on the last note. The canvas can be painted upside down and turned round at the end, if you want the surprise. Quoted on request.
Before and after
The poster for the evening, painted by hand: the invitation, the poster or the programme, painted by hand, then laid out and delivered print-ready. Giulia signed the poster for the 83rd Open d’Italia. From 700 €.
A mural in your offices: the reception wall, the canteen wall or a meeting room, painted with a brush in odourless acrylic. The place stays open while she works. From 150 € per sqm.
What a live painting brings to an evening in Copenhagen
Copenhagen hosts the great Scandinavian congresses, and its company evenings have a taste for restraint: few effects, a great deal of care. A painting that moves forward in front of the guests suits that well, because it is watched in silence and because it leaves something behind rather than a memory.
Giulia paints the coloured façades of Nyhavn and the copper roofs, the room that hosts you, the brand motif or the high point of the evening. The signed canvas stays with the company, with the date on it.
In practice, for a company in Copenhagen
Send the date, the venue and the number of guests: Giulia replies within 48 hours with a free quote, itemised line by line so it goes straight into a budget, and an invoice in the company name. Two complimentary sketches go out before the evening, so the management or the agency can approve the subject.
The exchange happens in English, and she also speaks Italian, French and Spanish. She arrives with her easel, her canvases and her colours, lays out floor protection and leaves with her equipment the same evening.
Event venues in Copenhagen
Giulia travels to the city’s event venues: the Bella Center, the largest congress venue in Scandinavia, sixty-five thousand square metres, five halls and forty-eight meeting rooms, up to thirty thousand delegates, with a plenary hall for seven thousand people and another for four thousand two hundred; and the Tivoli Congress Center, whose main hall of one thousand five hundred and twenty-nine square metres seats two thousand four hundred.
She also travels to Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Hellerup, Charlottenlund, Lyngby, Ishøj, Dragør, Køge, Roskilde, Hillerød, Helsingør and Malmö.
Your questions, before booking
Can Giulia paint during a congress dinner at the Bella Center?
Yes. She starts as the drinks are served, works on through dinner and reveals the canvas at the moment of the speech. In a hall that size she takes a square of about two metres by two, with a power socket and decent light. The canvas of the evening starts at 900 €, and watercolour portraits of the guests at 1 200 €.
Can the guests write on the canvas?
Yes. Giulia paints the large canvas in front of everyone — the city, the room or your brand motif — and each person comes and writes what they like on it. The company keeps a painted, dated guest book that stays up at reception. Giulia keeps the composition in hand so the painting reads at a glance. From 900 €.
Can everything be handled in English, invoice included?
Yes. Planning happens in English, and Giulia also speaks Italian, French and Spanish. The invoice is made out in the company name, itemised line by line, in euros: it goes into Danish accounts as it stands.
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, and the invoice made out to the company, itemised line by line. If you wish, Giulia also paints the company name or logo into the composition.
What happens to the painting after the evening?
It stays with the company. Many hang it 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, and it works well at a seminar: everyone adds a brushstroke, or each team paints a section that Giulia then ties together. She keeps hold of the composition so the result stands up. 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?
At the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, for Play Green, she painted live 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.
