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!

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. Alpine Arts Center can also create an Evite for your party invitations if you supply us with an email list of the guests. 

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 parties over 10 children, please add $15 per additional child.  Please call Alpine Arts Center to discuss cost options for parties of more than 25 children.

Please reserve your party day at least two weeks ahead.  Reservations are accepted on a first come first serve basis.  An $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your reservation and order necessary supplies, 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:

Toddler Art Party:
Choose your child's favorite animal, movie character, or storybook and we'll create a party based on that theme. Consider themes such as "Prince/Princess Party" where we decorate crowns, tote bags, and wands/swords, "Butterfly/Ladybug Party" where we make butterflies and ladybugs out of construction paper, paint, and pipe cleaners, or "Finding Nemo Party" where children make an underwater mixed-media painting of their favorite scene from the move.  Kids will love being creative and their artwork makes the perfect party favor.

Photo-Op Framed Friends:
Party guests will decorate and design their own picture frames, and then we'll take a group photo of the birthday party. 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.

Recycled Robots and/or Creatures

:
Each guest will create their own sculpture made out of exciting recycled materials!  Let your guests stretch their imaginations to find new uses for everyday objects and explore the world of 3-D Art. 

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. These masterpieces make the perfect party favor!

Ceramics Celebration:
The birthday boy or girl will choose from themes such as animals, dinosaurs, piggy banks, butterflies, prince/princess, hearts, and more.  We will either create our own clay sculptures based on the theme, or order paint-your-own-pottery pieces for each guest to glaze with 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 a t-shirt at the party to take home and wear as a reminder of the birthday party.  After tie-dyeing, guests will get to do another art project such as watercolor, cartooning, or a large birthday party mural for the birthday girl or boy to take home!

Trains, Planes, Dragons, and Transformers

:
Boys will love this party theme!  We'll supply item(s) of your choice and let the party guests decorate these wooden or foam sculptures.  If there is extra time, party guests will get even more creative and draw, paint, or sculpt their own design from scratch.  Their projects become the perfect souvenir to remember your special day!

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 any theme. We look forward to seeing you soon at 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!
