ART EXPERIENCES FOR PRIVATE GROUPS

Hands-on art-making has a myriad of benefits for all ages. Whether you’re planning a team-building experience for your team or booking your child’s birthday party, we’ll work with you to curate a one-of-a-kind creative outing.

TEAM-BUILDING workshops

Inspire collaboration and creativity – no experience required!

Make your next off-site outing one to remember. We offer art-making sessions led by ACP teaching artists that cater to diverse personality types and company cultures.

What sets the ACP apart? We offer not just painting events, but have the ability to host sessions in printmaking, wheel ceramics, textile arts, and more. Plus, we’re an independent arts non-profit, so you’re helping to make art more accessible for all by choosing us.

All instruction and materials are included. You may also choose to add on a meeting room or stay for lunch. We’ll help coordinate that, too.

student and community groups

Get off campus for a much-needed opportunity to channel your creativity and shake off the stress of the week.

We love working with undergrads and graduate students to design events that are both energizing and relaxing. Our teaching artists will help you awaken your inner artist as you enjoy a laid back atmosphere.

CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTIES

A chance to have messy, artistic fun in our studio and not your home? Priceless!

We’d love to host a party for your child’s birthday that encourages creativity and fun for the whole group.

Private art classes last one hour and we make it easy: each class is taught by a professional teaching artist and all supplies are included. We even supply the smocks! Included in your booking is use of the adjoining room, perfect for enjoying cake or pizza after the lesson.

You tell us all about your child’s unique interests, and we’ll work with you to customize a party that will knock their socks off. Past inspiration has included dragons, cars, unicorns, robots, animals, outer space – the possibilities are endless.

There are so many mediums for you to explore, like origami, paper mache, felting, and more! Continue reading the options below, then click the button submit your request.
