With its beautifully designed spaces and exciting creative facilities, the Visual Arts Center is a perfect event venue for both kids and adults.

For Kids

Celebrate your child’s birthday or any other special occasion at the Visual Arts Center – the perfect activity for kids’ imaginations and energy! For the first hour, each partygoer will create an arts & crafts project taught by a professional art teacher. Cake, drinks, etc., provided by the parents or caregivers, may be served during the last half-hour. A birthday party at the Visual Arts Center will be an event that your child and friends will remember for years to come! All materials provided for the activity with a theme for every age-range and taste.
Please choose a theme from the party menu below:

A Pirates Life For Me (ages 4 & up) - Create a Pirate Ship collage complete with a ship, pirates, and some buried treasure. A great keepsake which can be taken home and hung on the wall!

Rainforests (ages 4 & up) - Kids will create a 3D Rainforest scene with trees, birds, monkeys, flowers and so much more!

Beaded Pendant Necklaces (ages 4-10) – Create a pendant for your necklace out of Sculpey clay and add beautiful beads.

The Princess & The Castle (ages 4 & up) – Paint a magical castle scene and make a 3D Prince or Princess to add to the painting
