For around a year now I have been doing Art \u00e0 la Carte parties<\/a>, and I think I may be the only one!\u00a0I haven’t seen anyone else doing them. There are art lessons and workshops. There are paint nights, wine and paint parties & art parties out there of all sorts.\u00a0They\u00a0seem to be\u00a0taking urban nightlife\u00a0by storm. But Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte<\/a>? Now that is something different again.<\/p>\n

What is so different about Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte<\/a>? I am glad you asked! Typical art parties offer a social experience for participants where guests can wine and dine while working their way through a set painting project. Usually they take\u00a0place at a bar, gallery or art studio, and\u00a0are great as a date night, girls night out or alternative corporate party.<\/p>\n

However, if you would like a more intimate environment or a custom project, consider an Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte party<\/a>. An\u00a0Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte party<\/a> brings the art party experience home, literally.<\/p>\n

So why would you want to do an Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte party<\/a> at home? They are intimate, low pressure, and so flexible! Most art parties have set projects, set times, and require you to go to the venue. This can be a hassle if you have food and decorations to transport to the location. It can also be expensive if it is a bar and there is an expectation to purchase a certain number of drinks.<\/p>\n

Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte<\/a> gets rid of the hassle of going out. Whether it’s\u00a0a birthday party for a 9 year old or 49 year old, a baby shower, mixed ages event, or your turn to host dinner and drinks, an Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte<\/a> party is a fun and affordable way to break the ice, or provide a new twist for a regular event.<\/p>\n

You control the guest list, book the time and the place (usually your place, though I have done off site locations too), and choose the project.\u00a0You provide the space, including tables, chairs and water, along with the refreshments. I bring the art materials and equipment and I teach the project. Because the environment is much more intimate, guests find they can really relax and enjoy the experience, regardless of their skill level!<\/p>\n

I have done Art a la Carte parties for kids birthdays and for adults birthdays. I have done them for wine and cheese nights, girls night out, co-workers night in, and just for the heck of it nights with family and a few close friends. Because each event is custom tailored to you, there is a lot you can do with an\u00a0Art <\/a>\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0la Carte party<\/a>.<\/p>\n
