How much is parking?

If you park at the Government Center Parking Ramp ArtPeers will pay your parking fees.

How do I validate parking?

When you cross Monroe Avenue to enter DeVos Place, bring your parking stub from the Government Center Parking Ramp, and ArtPeers will validate it for you.

I don’t have a car!

If you can’t drive or carpool with a friend, take the bus and bring your receipt – ArtPeers will give you a free, 7-day pass to use on Rapid Transit, to reimburse your expenses.

How do I get in DeVos Place?

Use the Employee Entrance at DeVos Place (320 Monroe NW).

Where’s the Employee Entrance?

The DeVos Place Employee Entrance is a few steps south from the Main Entrance at 320 Monroe Avenue NW (see images, below).

How long do portraits take?

All portraits are first-come first-served: the photo itself will take just a few minutes, but wait times may vary.

How do I download my portrait?

Images will be posted within 30 minutes of your portrait session; participants will receive a link to a full-resolution version of their portrait, to download and keep.

Are there any costs?

I ROCK MY OWN events (portraits 2/24 and panel discussion 2/25) are free! No hidden fees or costs.
