Make Art with Us—Join an Art Party!

There’s an artist in everyone. Now children, teens, parents, caregivers, and Snow City Arts supporters can join our Teaching Artists virtually for free community Art Parties! From the comfort of your own home, you can explore your creativity across a variety of different art forms, collaborate with an artist, and create projects that reflect your ideas and inspiration! No experience necessary—just bring your imagination and your willingness to explore.

2024 Art Parties

Registration is open for one of our upcoming virtual Art Parties in 2024!

Note that after each Art Party, a recording will be available on YouTube so you can revisit the workshop or attend at your convenience.

Art Party with Monica Acosta

VIRTUAL (VIA ZOOM)

Join Teaching Artist Monica Acosta to explore the basics of watercolor techniques. RSVP today to join us! 

How Do Art Parties Work?

Early respondents will receive a free Art Kit with all of the supplies needed to participate (when needed).

After you register, you will receive an email within a few days detailing when you will be mailed your Art Kit (or a link to the supplies needed for your chosen Art Party).

A day before the Art Party, a Zoom link will be sent to the email you used to RSVP.* (To create a free Zoom account beforehand: https://zoom.us/freesignup/)

After the Art Party, we will invite you to upload your creation so that we can share it on social media or at a future Art Party. If you’d like to share your artwork, we’ll have you complete a consent form.

If you have further questions about Art Parties, please email programs@snowcityarts.org.
