####Q&A with Alison Meaney, Co-Founder of Artsy Academy

As the old adage says, "Stuff happens." What training do you and your staff have to stay ahead of the unexpected?
Our professional staff are steeped in service with a background in either the arts or plant science, depending on the specialty class we're facilitating.

What is the one feature of your business that you're most proud of?
We donate a portion of our proceeds to Trees, Water & People, a non profit, helping people and the planet.

Have you ever been a patron of your own business? If so, what was the most enjoyable part?
Artsy removes the stress from DIY by providing all the set-up, break down and cleanup of the necessary materials, all of which we provide. It's fun, low key and relaxing.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We are a sustainable, eco-friendly company using locally sourced, handmade and reusable materials.
