Birthday Parties

What birthday party options do you offer?
We offer creative birthday party options designed for different ages and interests. Parties include a guided art experience, time to celebrate with friends, and plenty of creative fun.

Visit our Birthday Parties page for current packages, pricing, and available add-ons.
What art projects do kids make?
Our parties feature a guided painting project along with coordinating creative activities. We'll work with you to select an established project based on your child's age and interests and add special touches to make the celebration feel uniquely theirs.
How many children can attend a birthday party?
Our studio parties can accommodate up to 14 participating artists. Package pricing includes a set number of guests, and additional artists may be added for $15 each, up to the 14-child maximum.
What do I need to bring?
We provide the art supplies and handle the creative experience and cleanup. Families may bring cake or other party food and any personal items permitted with their selected package. Please review the Birthday Parties page for the most current package inclusions.
Can parents stay during the party?
Because our studio is cozy, drop-off is encouraged for school-age parties. Parents or caregivers of the birthday child are welcome to stay, and we understand that younger children may need an adult nearby.
How do I reserve a birthday party?
Start by submitting our Birthday Party Inquiry Form with your preferred date, time, and party details. Once we confirm availability, we'll send an invoice for a $50 deposit to reserve your date.

We'll confirm your final guest count before the party, and the remaining balance is due the Friday before your event.
Can I add extras to my party?
Yes! We offer optional party enhancements and special activities. Visit our Birthday Parties page to see the current add-on options and pricing.

Classes & Camps

What should my child wear?
Please send your artist in clothes that can get messy! We use a variety of art materials, and while we provide aprons when appropriate, creativity doesn't always stay on the canvas.
Do parents stay for classes?
Most of our school-age classes and camps are designed as drop-off programs. Our studio has a small lobby for parents or caregivers when needed. Specific instructions will be provided for programs designed for younger artists or caregiver participation.
What should my child bring to camp?
Please review the information provided with your camp registration for specific instructions. We recommend comfortable clothes that can get messy and a labeled water bottle.

Private Events, Field Trips & Community Programs

Do you offer private events?
Yes! We love creating art experiences for private groups, organizations, families, and community events. Contact us with information about your group and what you have in mind, and we'll help determine the best option.
Do you offer field trips or programs for schools and groups?
Yes. We can host groups at Atlee Art Loft or bring creative programming to schools, organizations, and community locations. Programs can be customized based on group size, age range, location, and creative goals.
