PLAN YOUR CHILD'S BIRTHDAY AT THE GUILFORD ART CENTER!

General information, Scheduling & Fees
Parties are scheduled in our classrooms for two hours, which allows time for the art activity, cake or pizza, and presents. There is a small kitchen area and refrigerator in the school building, where you can keep the cake and ice cream that you bring until it's time to make a wish! Children should bring a smock or dress appropriately for an art activity that could be messy.

Parties are scheduled on weekdays and weekends, morning or afternoon. The cost is $100 for 5 children minimum; $15 for each additional child. Reservations must be made a minimum of two weeks in advance. Your $100 deposit is due before the party in order to secure the date. Once you reserve your party, our teacher will call you to discuss a suitable project for your child and his or her guests.
