DESCRIPTION
A sneak peek of our Art Gallery Party.
Citation preview
An average art party takes on a sophisticated air when you turn the party guests’
creations into a gallery showing. Timed just right for both making their art and exhibiting
their art, the party guests get a chance to become true artists as they create and later show
off their work to special guests. And who better to attend this exclusive artists’ event than
their parents? When parents arrive to pick up their children they are greeted with fabulous
paintings and sculptures. They have time to ooh and ahh over their children’s masterpieces
while snacking on treats such as cheese & crackers, sliced fruit, colorful cookies, and sparkling
apple cider. Don’t forget to include a stunning rainbow cake and colorful cupcakes. There’s
enough for everyone to enjoy while perusing this art gallery party.
I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but our favorite thing about parties is teaching you
how to re-create every party that we do. Our parties have been photographed in great detail
to show you our process so that you can have this same party yourself. We’ve done all of the
hard work already so you can pull off a showstopper with minimal effort. Feel free to use our
party ideas, but remember to play nice. This PDF is for personal use only.

This party incorporates the colors in the color wheel. We used all colors across the
spectrum with a huge dose of white to keep everything bright and crisp. These art invitations
and thank you cards are printed on bright white matte brochure paper from an office supply
store. Be sure to use the highest quality settings on your printer. The envelopes are from Paper
Source and we suggest using a rainbow of colors or picking your child’s favorite color. The
stamps we used show paintings from famous artists and are from the Abstract Expressionists
U.S. Postal series (look for these stamps on eBay or your local stamp shop). For a cool invite
that can be hand delivered, include an apron or some art supplies with the invitation. Party
guests can even bring these items with them to the party.

This party definitely needs artistic cupcake toppers. We call these our Jackson Pollock
toppers after the artist who was know for his paint splattering paintings.
Melt a colored bag of candy melts in a glass bowl in the microwave. Check and stir the
candy melts frequently and remove the bowl from the microwave as soon as they are melted.
Spoon the melted candy melts into a disposable frosting bag. Repeat for any other colors you
would like to use. Cut the tip of the disposable frosting bag a tiny bit to allow the melted candy
melts to get out. Make random paint splatters onto a sheet of wax paper. Let the splatters
cool. Place on top of your cupcakes when ready. Instant art!
cupcakes and cupcake toppers
Make a creative name tag holder. Using a regular sized hole punch,
punch a hole and slip it onto a crayon. Viola!
Avoid keeping the flowers out of water for long periods of time. Work in a cool place,
but do not keep flowers in a refrigerator.
Arrange flower in smaller bundle and secure with floral wire or a rubberband.
Remember you can tweak as you go. Don’t be discouraged because flowers are a great medium
and can be worked until you get it just right. Be brave and have fun creating!
