WHY AARTWERK?
We are not just artists, we are incurable aesthetes. We enjoy beauty, and we love when it pervades everything we do. This means we find pleasure in making things special, and that your event will be much more than just a party or regular painting session. You will have a meticulously prepared, original and tasteful setup, and your time will be organized creatively, in a manner that suits your needs.
For customized parties we shall provide: wine glasses, paper plates, paper cups and napkins. And forks. And knives. And spoons. And anything else you need for your special day, just let us know in advance. You are welcome to come 30 minutes prior to the event to set up drinks and catering, and to relax and start sipping.
Please write to us at info@aartwerk.com to start planning, or give us a call at (773) 217-6604.
We are looking forward to sharing your special day with you!
SCHEDULING: Please call or email us and let us find a time that works for you, together. Think in advance! For you, we are ready to reschedule a class that has no registered drinkers yet! Except for our ongoing courses. Those are set in stone.
PRICING: Prices vary depending on your choice of project, day and interior setup. Please find our basic pricing below.
DEPOSIT: The $150 deposit is due on the day the reservation is made. The deposit will go towards your final payment and will not be refunded in the event that the Party is canceled less than 14 days prior to the scheduled date. If the amount owed is less than the deposit, the difference will be refunded to you.
PAYMENT: The organizer may choose to pay the full Party fee, or only to cover the base amount owed after the guests have registered and paid for themselves. If not covered by the deposit, this payment is due 24 hours before the event.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Your yia-yia (babushka, abuelita, nkuku)
is turning 80 and you want to surprise her?
You are a year older than yesterday,
and you haven’t really celebrated in years?
We can make it happen. Different, fun, and tasteful. Let us decorate our space for you, and help you with the catering arrangement! Let us then make the heart of the event creative, easygoing and fun. The best way to go is to have a break half way into the project, for the cake, toast and a round of pictures; for this reason, we warmly recommend making your party 30 minutes longer then the actual class. BYOB. BYOCake.If you need help with catering, let us know!
Happy Birthday! Your spot is on the house!

BACHELORETTE PARTIES
This is the way to start.
Create, chat and sip with your partners in crime,
before you head out somewhere loud.
Take home a reminder of your last night out before the great I DO.
If you would like a classy way to hold on to a 'traditional' celebration, spicing up with a bit of naughtiness, we recommend our The Nude Dude. Whichever project you decide to take on, you may leave it at the studio for 24 hours...we know the night is young, and that you are heading out afterwards!

BABY SHOWERS
Party creatively!
Let your guests have fun making original works of art.
Expecting parents may decide: do you want a theme workshop making art for the kids' rooms, or a classic painting party. We warmly recommend our Baby on the Way... Baby in the House! project. If you choose this, you will be adding your artwork to the list of presents for your little one! The drawings we provide are used as a starting point for your art. You will change and customize these according to your taste, with the help and suggestions of our instructor. Guests without children do not have to paint teddy bears (and those who don't feel like it at the given moment) ....They may choose to paint something from our cool pop-artish stock of drawings, which we made specially for them!
Mom and dad paint for free!

KIDS PARTIES
Make a truly unique party for your little one!
Not only will kids get as messy and happy as they like, but it will not be in your house and we will love it! All children will have their own piece of artwork to take home, and the Birthday Kid will take on the word cool next to his/her name. Like Cool Joe, or Cool Amy. Who knows, maybe you will become Cool Mom, or Cool Dad… if you cater some hot pizza.
Shoot us an email or give us a call. For now, kids can celebrate with us if they are 7 or older, but fun for petit ones is coming in the fall!
If there is over 15 children at your party, the birthday boy/girl paints for free!
