Frequently Asked Questions

What are the age requirements for studio experiences and offerings?

All offerings at our studio have specific age requirements, which are strictly adhered to ensure the appropriateness of activities for all participants. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions for siblings or friends who do not meet the age criteria listed.

Gift cards are delivered via email, and we currently do not provide paper gift cards. Please ensure that you enter the email address correctly when purchasing a gift card, as we cannot edit the address once it is entered and are not responsible for gift cards that are lost due to incorrect email entry. This is a great way to give the gift of creativity while ensuring flexibility for the recipient.

Do you offer courses for adults?

We primarily serve toddlers to teens, but we welcome parents and caretakers to participate in our Open Studio sessions and the Adult + Child Creative Playgroup. Currently, we do not have offerings exclusively for adults; however, we are always happy to discuss opportunities for hosting private events tailored for adults.

What kind of art services and materials do you offer at artSPARK?

At artSPARK Creative Studio, we provide a wide array of 2-D and 3-D art-making opportunities, utilizing various materials and techniques.

We also encourage you to consider supporting local schools and non-profit organizations. Many teachers often purchase supplies out of their own pockets, and your donations can make a significant difference in providing educational and artistic opportunities for children. Your support helps cultivate creativity across our community, and we appreciate your thoughtfulness in extending your generosity to other worthy causes.

FAQ Parties + Private Events

What are the maximum capacity and age recommendations for hosting a party at artSPARK?

Parties at the artSPARK studio can accommodate a maximum of 25 guests. The base package includes 12 makers, with an additional fee for each extra maker. Age recommendations vary: for makers aged 6 and older, parties are generally drop-off only, except for the birthday child's parents. For children aged 3-5, drop-off is encouraged, though parental attendance is optional. For guests under age 3, parental supervision is required. These guidelines help manage capacity and ensure a suitable and safe environment for all attendees.

What are the available time for hosting parties at the studio?

Parties at the studio are typically scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, with available time slots at 10 am - Noon, 1-3 pm, and 4-6 pm. If you wish to host a party on a weekday, we can consider such requests based on studio availability. Please contact us to discuss potential arrangements. You may arrive 15 minutes before and stay up to 15 minutes after the party for setup and cleanup. Please adhere to the 15-minute post-party window to avoid a $1 per minute overtime charge.

Can gifts and party favors be opened during the event at the studio?

Gifts should be saved to be opened at home, as the party schedule does not accommodate time for opening them at the studio. Party favors should be handed out as guests leave and not opened at the studio to help maintain the flow of the party and ensure all activities can be enjoyed.

What does the studio provide for in-studio parties?

The studio provides two dedicated instructors to guide the artistic activities, a small table for treats, gifts, and party favors, and all necessary materials for the art making. Additionally, we supply plates, utensils, and napkins. Upon request, we can also provide a lighter and a knife for cake cutting.

What do I need to bring for the party at the studio?

Our parties are designed to be turn-key, meaning we provide all the essentials for the art activities and basic party ware. As the party host, please bring your own drinks (alcohol-free), snacks, and simple treats such as cupcakes, cookies, or doughnuts.

FAQ artSPARK Studio Pass Membership

Can I switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan?

Yes! You can upgrade to an annual plan at any time to enjoy additional savings. Please note that previous monthly payments do not count towards the annual plan upgrade. However, those who purchase an annual membership upfront will benefit from even greater savings compared to monthly pricing.

Are memberships transferable?

No, memberships are non-transferable. Benefits apply only to the named member(s). Individual memberships are child-specific and cannot be shared or transferred. Families with more than two children will need a Family Membership plus an additional Extra Family Member Membership for each extra child beyond the first two. This ensures that all enrolled members can fully enjoy their benefits and access to the studio.

What happens if I don't use my benefits?

Unused benefits, such as Open Studio sessions, do not roll over to the next month and cannot be refunded or credited. Membership benefits are designed to provide ongoing opportunities for creativity during the active subscription period, so we encourage members to take full advantage of the offerings each month. Be sure to plan ahead and register for sessions early to make the most of your membership!

What does "Unlimited Open Studio Access" mean?

Members can attend any scheduled Open Studio sessions without additional fees. There are limited spots for each session due to capacity, members must register in advance to hold their spot. Open Studios are hosted on various Saturdays and Sundays, as well as some holidays, providing multiple opportunities each month to explore, create, and connect in our space. The full schedule can be found HERE.

What if my family has more than four members?

If your family has more than four members, you can add additional family members to your Family Membership using the Extra Family Member membership option.

Each added family member receives the same benefits as those included in the standard Family Membership.

Can I add a sibling to my child's Individual Membership?

Extra Family Member Add-ons are only available with a Family Membership and cannot be added to an Individual Membership.

My children and I love this place! I've been bringing my kids here since 2016. All three of them have participated in the Creative Playgroup and thoroughly enjoyed it. My oldest son is now 9 and also participated in the camps and asks when he can go back. My daughter (5) gets into a creation zone when she's there and gets fixated on the different crafting stations. My youngest is almost 2 and takes full advantage of the sensory experiences. I love how children are able to explore independently!
