If your child is having a birthday party and loves ART, book the Schurman Family Studio to celebrate their special day!!
Details:
The Schurman Family Studio is a large space that is fully equipped to teach groups of children; and is an excellent location for your young art-enthusiast's birthday party!
Every party includes a 15-minute tour of an art exhibit in the Gallery followed by 45 minutes of instruction of an art activity. Parents and kids can choose from the following three options:
- watercolour painting
- drawing with pastels
- introduction to collage
After the hour long art activity, parents have a second hour in the studio to accommodate their own birthday party traditions. Those traditions may include snacks, drinks, birthday cake, a piñata, opening of presents, games, loot bags, etc.
Birthday parties usually take place on Sundays between 2-4 p.m.
