Sycamore Banquet Center at Indiana State University Terre Haute

Scape Designer Requirements:

The designers will setup their 60" round 30" tall, minimum requirement of 4 place settings, Scape Thursday March 19 (between the hours of 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM). My recommendation is to always start early. That way if you need additional items, you have time to purchase and add them.

Friday March 20 is the Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party. Each Scape is awarded 1 ticket for a designer to attend this fabulous fun filled evening. Mix and mingle, enjoy spirits, music and hors d'oeuvres. Enjoy time with the judges between 6:00-6:30 pm before the public arrives! Please provide the name of the designer who will be attending Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party to stacey@arttotality.org by Monday March 12th. Additional tickets for Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party are $25.00 per ticket as well as Tickets for the Dinner are $100.00 and can be purchased during the Designer meeting. You can purchase these online from your phone/computer.

Lastly is the tear down of the Scapes. The Designer can do this anytime between the hours of 10:00 am and 1:00 pm, Sunday March 22nd. Be sure to allow enough time to be out of the venue by 1 pm. They have another event coming in shortly after. If you attend Dinner at the Scapes Saturday March 21st, then you have the opportunity to tear your Scape down at the conclusion of the evening.

Things to remember...

Chairs are not permitted. This allows us to save space for the non-designed tables for the dinner.
The only area that will need to be designed is the top 60" round surface of your table. We cannot have any area around the table taken due to limited space for the dinner tables that are separate from your Scapes.
Tablecloth: Please let us know if you are in need of and 85" white tablecloth. We will need to place an order with Sudexo.Note: If you want a tablecloth to go to the foor, it will need to be 120".
Designer Pantry: We have a limited number of tablcloths as well as some sets of plates, flatware, and other decroative items in the Designer's Pantry. It is on a first come first serve basis. Please reach out to Sandy Mutchler if you would like to borrow something from the pantry for your scape.

The decoration policy is as follows: No granular substances. No glitter. No adhering anything to walls. No open flame. No items around your Scape.

We look forward to the best year yet!
