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 and beverages!

Included in the cost of the party are smocks for all who attend, supplies for whatever project you choose, chairs, tables, silverware, plates, and napkins. Alpine Arts Center will also provide the invitations that will take you only minutes to fill out.  All guests will leave Alpine Arts Center with their completed art project, which will serve as a reminder of the incredible time they had!

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 $185, for 11-15 children the cost is $245, and for 16-20 children the cost is $295. Please call Alpine Arts Center to discuss cost options for parties of more than 20 children.

Please reserve your party day at least two weeks ahead.  Reservations are accepted on a first come first serve basis.  A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your reservation, which will be applied to your final bill.

Schedule Your Birthday Party

 

You and the birthday girl or boy can choose from a number of party projects.  Here are some ideas to pique your interest:

Photo-Op Framed Friends:
Dig through our dress up chest and strike a pose as we snap pictures of your group and party guests. Party guests will also decorate and design their own picture frames. Photos will then be printed to slip behind each guest’s unique frame. What a great way to remember the special day!

Pirates’ Treasure Hunt

:
This party is great for guys or gals. Each guest will decorate a wooden treasure chest with gold and sliver paints, sparkles and jewels. Then, while the pieces are drying guests will follow the clues to find the box of treasures and jewels.

Bejeweled Birthday
:
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.

A Painterly Party

:
Your guests will feel like Picasso and Van Gogh as they create original acrylic works of art on professional canvas boards. The birthday guests will choose between landscapes or portrait painting and learn about proportion, shading and color mixing. What a masterpiece of a party favor!

Ceramics Celebration:
This isn’t your average pottery painting celebration. Each birthday party boy or girl and guests will design their very own ceramics.  The birthday boy or girl will choose a theme such as tea party, monster madness or piggy banks. Learn about the techniques to create ceramics and then paint your pieces with slip to add bright colors. (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.)

Totally Tie-Dye

:
Look totally groovy while you and your friends create your very own tie-dye shirts. Each birthday party guest will design two items at the party. Watch as you unravel your shirts to see how unique each design is.

Create a Party:
Do you have another idea or theme for your birthday that we don’t offer? Let us know and we will come up with an art activity for you. Whether the birthday child likes animals, the outdoors, sports or fashion we can develop a project around their interests. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Alpine Arts Center to celebrate your birthday!

 

Summer Themed Parties

Stepping Stone Mosaics:
Create beautiful mosaic stepping stones to admire in your garden!  This party will teach you how to incorporate gems, stones, and other unique objects in a cement mold.  Once your mosaic is hardened it will be ready to be taken home, put next to your favorite flowers, and enjoyed for years to come.

Fly a Kite:
Decorate and paint your own unique design on a pre-made fabric kite.  Add accents and personal touches to your masterpiece, and then take it out and watch it fly.

Bird Houses:
Decorate your own bird house with acrylic paints.  Choose from tons of images, or create your own.  Then watch while your beautiful creation attracts even more beautiful birds!

 

Winter Holiday Themed Parties

Ginger Bread Houses

:
Get sticky as you and your friends make houses and sculptures out of all sweet treats. Dig into frosting and decorate your house with m&ms, gumdrops, candy canes and more. This is sure to be the sweetest party you’ve ever had.

Winter Wonderland

:
Using many different media, the birthday party boy or girl and guests will make special winter themed crafts. Decorate your own personal stocking; make snowmen, cookie plates, cards and ornaments to send to your friends and family. These projects are sure to make your holiday season brighter as they sparkle with glitter and creativity!
