Birthday Parties

We are resuming In Person Birthday Parties!
An ArtStart’s ArtScraps birthday party is about choice, guided art making and fun, fun, fun!

Basic Party Information
Birthdays are offered for children ages 5-12 years on Saturdays only.
Parties are 90 minutes in length and start on time.
An adult needs to be present at all times to answer questions or cheer party goers on, realizing not all children are comfortable making art.
Parties are held from 10:30-12:00 noon or from 1:00 2:30 pm – your choice.

What to Expect at Your Birthday Party
All of the party goers receive a favor bag from ArtStart with artful reuse materials and directions for a creative project to make at home.

The birthday party is led by an artist who guides the group in how to create an art project the birthday person has pre-selected when reserving the date.

The birthday party begins with a warm-up activity led by the artist and then moves into the art project with all materials provided by ArtStart.

Once the art project is completed, it is time to celebrate!
First comes a group sing-along to “Happy Birthday!” just for the special birthday person. If party goers bring gifts and cards, it is time for the special birthday person to open them. If no gifts are brought, the artist will have party goers share their art work.

For health reasons, no food can be eaten in the facility. However, bring a cake, or cupcakes, or other food and something to package individual pieces in, so party goers can enjoy the party food at home.

Cost: $200 for up to 10 children
Currently masks are required regardless of vaccination status.

A $25 non-refundable deposit reserves the date and time for the party; this money is applied to the final cost of $200.
Party must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance so an artist can be contracted.

To book a birthday party, contact Cindy Smith or call 651-698-2787 Tuesday-Friday from 10 am-6 pm and speak with staff who will reserve the party date and time, process the reservation deposit, and help select the art project.

If booking in person, ArtStart is open Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am-6 pm.
