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 Frankfurt
Frankfurt hosts the largest trade fairs in Europe and the banking evenings that go with them, and guests arrive from everywhere. A painter at work gives the room something that is watched in silence and talked about afterwards: guests come over, they admire, they take photographs, and the canvas moves forward in front of them until the speech.
Giulia paints the line of towers and the Main, 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 of the evening on it.
In practice, for a company in Frankfurt
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. Over a trade fair week she can hold two evenings in a row: give her both dates at the quote stage and she will plan the day in between.
Event venues in Frankfurt
Giulia travels to the city’s event venues: the Congress Center at Messe Frankfurt, which takes up to three thousand four hundred people, with its Harmonie hall of one thousand eight hundred square metres for around two thousand two hundred participants; and Kap Europa, built between 2012 and 2014, four levels, a hall for one thousand people, a divisible hall for six hundred and twelve further conference rooms, the first congress centre in the world to be awarded the platinum certificate of the German Sustainable Building Council.
She also travels to Offenbach, Eschborn, Neu-Isenburg, Bad Homburg, Kronberg, Königstein, Hanau, Rüsselsheim, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg.
Your questions, before booking
Can Giulia paint during a trade fair dinner at the Congress Center?
Yes. She starts at the aperitif, works on through dinner and reveals the canvas at the moment of the speech. She needs a square of about two metres by two, 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 a word, a name, a signature. The company keeps a painted, dated guest book that stays on the wall. Giulia holds the composition, so the painting reads at a glance. From 900 €.
Can the brand logo go into the canvas?
Yes. Giulia also studied graphic design at the Brera Academy: she draws the lettering by hand and builds the canvas in the colours of the house. The logo can appear painted, or stay out of it and let the palette speak. That is decided beforehand, on the two complimentary sketches, with the management or the agency.
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.
