Are you trying to figure out where to hold your child’s next birthday party? Search no more! Alpine Arts Center will help you throw an unforgettable party that is not only fun for all involved, but incredibly easy for you to plan as a parent. We know how stressful these things can be, so we will do all we can to make this party headache-free! We will set up and lead the party and will do all of the clean up after it is finished. All you have to do is provide the cake!
Art parties are perfect for any age child, from toddler to teen, and party ideas are listed below to help you choose the perfect party for every age birthday girl or boy. Included in the cost of the party are smocks for all who attend, decorations, supplies for whatever project you choose, silverware, plates, and napkins.
Each party will last for 2 hours; an hour and a half will be designated for the project and a half an hour will be set aside for food, drinks, cake, and presents. For a party catering to 10 children or fewer, the cost is $400. For parties over 10 children, please add $25 per additional child. If you plan to invite parents to attend the party please let us know in advance and we can accommodate this request (pricing: $10/adult). We can provide wine, beer, or mimosas to entertain the adults while the children play! All alcohol must be purchased through Alpine Arts Center and served by our staff.
Please note: most birthday parties are held during our regular studio hours and this option works well for up to about 20 kids. We will reserve tables for your group and also provide a table for food/gifts. The arts center will also be open to the public during your party. For larger groups we may be able to rent the entire studio; pricing varies seasonally so inquire for details.
Please reserve your party day at least two weeks ahead. Reservations are accepted on a first come first serve basis. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your reservation and order necessary supplies, which will be applied to your final bill.
Toddlers and Young Artists:
A Painterly Party (ages 5+):
Your guests will feel like Picasso and Van Gogh as they create original works of art on professional canvas boards and easels. The birthday guests will choose a painting from our website options or an image of your choice, and an instructor will demonstrate step-by-step. These masterpieces make the perfect party favor! *Canvas boards included; for stretched canvas additional materials fees apply.
Clay Celebration (ages 4+):
The birthday boy or girl will choose from themes such as animals, dinosaurs, piggy banks, butterflies, prince/princess, hearts, and more, or create functional pottery such as picture frames, bowls, mugs, and flower pots. Please select from air-dry clay or fired clay. For air-dry clay, guests can make and paint their sculptures and take them home at the end of the party; they are not food safe or glossy. For fired clay, sculptures will be ready 2 weeks after the party and they will be clear glazed to make them food safe; the birthday parent will be notified when fired pottery is ready to pick up and distribute.
Paint Your Own Pottery (ages 3+):
Choose from tons of paint pottery items to pre-order for your birthday guests, or let each guest choose their own item from our store (“blue” pieces included in regular rates; additional fees may apply for larger items). To pre order, click here for the complete selection and then call or email us with item numbers. (Note: guests will not be able to take pieces home that day due to the firing processes. The birthday parent will be notified when the pieces are completed.)
Bejeweled Birthday (options for older or younger artists):
For younger artists, paint your own jewelry box and accent the top with jewels and glitter! Then make a beaded necklace and/or bracelet to put inside!
For older artists, design and make your own fun and unique jewelry. Select from our wide variety of beautiful beads, or learn how to make your own! Each party guest will create bracelets, necklaces and more.
