General

​

PARKING

     Be respectful of our neighbors businesses and their parking needs on either side of Pirates main front door. Be respectful of the CrossFit business to the

     north and DO NOT park in their gravel lot. It is suggested that for larger events, such as the DOD, and open shows, to place signs out that say ‘DO

     NOT PARK ACROSS THE STREET’.  There are no set rules.  Pirates can park in front of our Pirate garage door.

TRASH AND RECYCLE

     Pirate does not have a trash service.  Do not dump in private dumpsters on the premises that other business owners are paying for.  We LOVE our

     neighbors. Please take any trash and recyclables home for disposal. Keep trash bags stocked.

CIGARETTE BUTTS

     There are buckets with sand at the front and back for these.  A cat litter scoop is in the the storage room for cleaning these out.

BAR SINK/FOOD PREP AREA

     Please keep this area clean. Wash any dirty bowls and dishes and put away. This is especially important after your show.

BATHROOM

     Please keep the bathroom clean while your show is running.  Make sure there is toilet paper, soft soap and paper towels ready for guests.  If you

     purchase any products please keep receipts and submit to Lisa for reimbursement.

STORAGE AREA

     This area is for pedestals, ladders, tables, paint, tools and chairs, and a place for members during their show to store stuff.  This is NOT a storage

     area for your artwork for after your show.

WALLS

     Normal wear and tear is expected but we want to keep the walls as clean and well maintained as possible. Be sure to spackle and paint all holes

     after a show. Use a primer first to cover up tougher stains and scuffs, and then the flat white wall paint in the storage room.

     Once spackle is dry sand with 150/220 sand paper to smooth and get rid of access. Use a small roller for larger areas and a brush for small.

     If have any questions about how to patch and clean up a wall contact Charles or Eric.

LOCKING UP

     Bring in both open signs. Turn off all lights. Lock front and back doors and check garage roller door is locked. The Pirate neon sign is on 24-7.

HEAT & A/C

     The Thermostat is programable and is set to come on an hour before our gallery hours.
