Nebraska Unions & University Housing - Craft Policy

Groups planning crafting projects such as cards, banners, signs, artwork, etc. will need to let the Reservations office know so appropriate space and tables can be provided for the group. Groups will need to follow the requirements below.

  • All tables need to be covered with a tarp or plastic
    • Please use only blue tape, if taping covering to the tables or other surfaces of the space. Do not tape on any of the painted surfaces.
  • No Glitter, confetti, artificial snow, sand, small beads, or other similar decorations which are difficult to clean up and track easily are not allowed. This includes wax, powder, or similar materials.
  • Painting is only allowed in rooms with a hard surface floor along with the following requirements. (No rooms with carpet)
    • Prior approval from reservations staff and a completed EPR (Event Planning Reservation)
    • All tables are covered with a tarp or plastic to protect the tables and easier clean up
    • Disposable brushes and palettes are recommended. If all painting materials are not disposed of at the event, then the group is responsible for removing all the material and cleaning them elsewhere.
      • Use of sinks or other water sources to clean out brushes and other materials is not allowed.
    • No aerosol paint cans, air brushes, or oil paints
  • Soap carving and pumpkin carving are allowed under special circumstances. Groups will need to work directly with the Reservations office for these events.
  • Groups are responsible for ensuring no fluids of any type contact the floor.
  • Groups are responsible for cleaning up after the event. The Nebraska Unions will provide additional trash containers.
  • In the event something does get spilled or damaged please notify the Welcome Desk immediately at 402-472-8056 (Nebraska Union & /Willa Cather Dining Complex) or 402-472-9366 (Nebraska East Union). This will allow us to treat the area to hopefully prevent permanent damage or assess the damage with the group.
  • Any additional clean up or damage to the space(s), may result in a cleanup or replacement charge to the group.
