What kinds of Birthday parties are available?

We have two options for Birthday Parties. Art Spark Exploration Party Package - $150 room creation charge + $17 per child If your child wishes for us to create a themed room for them to explore and play in, the cost is $17 per child with an additional $150 charge for creation of the themed room. During this party, the children will complete two art projects and explore and play in a room based on the theme he/she chooses. This party lasts two hours long. You may bring cake and ice cream or some treat for the children to enjoy during this party as well! Some themes we have done in the past include: Go! Diego Go! Dr. Seuss, Pinkalicious, Under the Sea, Candyland, and many more! The possibilities are endless! You can view photos from birthday parties by liking us on Facebook. With this package, all utensils, plates, and tablecloths are also included.

Art Spark Play and Create Party Package - $15 per child If you wish to have a themed party the cost is $15 per child. We will buy special materials and have two projects relevant to the theme your child chooses. This party lasts two hours.

Parties can only be held in our studio on SUNDAYS.

How many children can come to the party?

20 is the maximum number of children that can attend a party at The Art Spark.

When do you need a final head count by?

We will need a final head count 3-4 days before the party. This will give us enough time to make sure we have the right amount of supplies, chairs, etc.

What are some examples of themes you can do for birthday parties? When do you need to know the theme by for our party? Here is a list of themes:

-Rainbows and Unicorns -The Zoo -Castles Kings and Queens -Any movie your child loves -A small city or town with what your child loves -A period in history or in the future -Pets -Dr. Seuss -A book that your child loves -Sports -Dungeons and Dragons -A Fairy Garden -Lemonade Stands -Outer space But please, do not limit yourself to this list---the possibilities are endless!

We need to know the theme for the birthday party two weeks in advance.

How would it seem more like a birthday party than an actual class?

We try to make the child who's birthday it is feel like the star! We choose projects that are what the birthday boy/girl would like very much and have to do with the theme that they choose. We consistently reiterate that it is his/her's birthday. We eat cake and have drinks which also makes it much different from class. If you were to go with Exploration package the whole room would be transformed into looking like whatever he/she chooses. This makes it even more about them and their special day.

If we went with the Art Exploration Party package, what happens to what you build after the party?

If you went with the Exploration Package anything we make is there for you to take home with you if you would like. If you wouldn't want to take it, we might keep some things, but we usually have to let what we build retire in the Art Spark Hall of Fame (trash) :(. We just don't have enough space to keep everything we build.

Will the children work together or independently on their projects?

For birthday parties the kids do individual projects so that they have special projects to take home that are all their own. We do team projects in class and camp to encourage working with another and communication.

What is the cancellation policy?

If you needed to cancel due to illness we would need to reschedule for the next available date. Any other cancellations we would need to know two weeks in advance.

Where is your studio located?

Our studio is located inside of Rockwern Academy. 8401 Montgomery Road Cincinnati, OH 45236 Please enter the driveway from Montgomery Road. You will see windows that say THE ART SPARK when you pull up. Use the entrance closest to our windows. (DO NOT USE THE STURBRIDGE ENTRANCE.)

When do you need payment? Is there a deposit?

We will need the payment the day of the party. You can pay with check or cash. Checks should be made out to: The Art Spark. There is a $50 deposit due once the party is scheduled.

Can we bring balloons/things to decorate with?

You are welcome to bring decorations for your child's party. You are welcome to drop them off early a day or two before the party or come early the day of the party and drop them off, so we can hang them up.

What is the schedule for the big day?

We have a set schedule for birthday parties that we have found works out nicely. Instead of doing cake at the end we do projects at the end. Schedule: Introduction of children 10 minutes Play/Game 30 minutes Cake 15 minutes Projects 55 minutes The reason why we have the kids eating the cake before doing the

projects is because we don't have to clean up all the project mess before the cake. We set down tablecloths and have them eat the cake first then just gather up the tablecloth after and start to do the projects on the table.

Which teachers will be at the party?

Both Miss Jacquelyn and Miss Emily are at every party. If there is a large group, (more than 15) we usually hire extra assistance as well.

Can parents stay at the party?

We prefer to have drop-off parties because some parents tend to try to over-help the kids with their project and we really would like the kids to be able to work independently and create something entirely their own. It's totally fine if a parent would like to stay, but when there's a lot it can be chaotic. It is also a small space to try to squeeze all the parents into.

We hope that answers some of your questions! If you have more questions, do not hesitate to e-mail or call us! Thank You!
