Celebrate! Art
Parties and Science Celebrations
are available for children’s parties with five to twelve year old participants or a group of adults celebrating a special occasion. A fun and festive 90-minute or two hour party will be designed around the chosen theme and presented in the Junior Center’s
party room over-looking beautiful
Lake Merritt.
Party Themes
NEW! LIVING WITH NATURE PARTY
Party guests will learn about the natural resources found all around them everyday and ways they can live in more harmony with nature. Fun and informative projects, experiments, and demonstrations are a great way to celebrate the birthday person and our planet. Projects include drawing lessons, planter decorating, and seed planting.
ANIMAL ADVENTURES
Guests will meet and learn about the habitats, special features and adaptive behaviors of two or more members of the Junior Center Animal Ambassador Program. Presentations are followed by a hands-on art project emphasizing the party theme.
POTTERY PAINTING PARTY
Guests will glaze two ceramic pieces with their own unique designs as they learn about painting techniques. Finished ceramic pieces are ready for pick-up in 7 to 10 working days. A minimum of three weeks advance reservation and payment are required for all Pottery Painting Parties.
ROCKET SCIENCE CELEBRATION
The Junior Center science presenter will engage students in a series of fun experiments which will lay the foundation for the hands-on portion of the workshop. "Junior scientists" will learn about air and water pressure as they prepare to build and launch their own rockets. This educational workshop is an exciting experience for young participants and their adult chaperones.
PAINTING PARTY
Guests will create a painting in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe, Wayne Thiebaud, Vincent Van Gogh or Henri Matisse. Fun facts about the featured artist and painting techniques will be shared with the group. Each young artist will leave with his/her own painting.
