THURSDAY | January 19 & February 2 | 6 PM for Families and 8 PM for Adults

Get out of the box and get inspired with unconventional and experimental art activities. This experience is about the journey, not the destination, so get bright, get bold, get messy and have some fun!

Art couldn’t get any cooler with this latest Art Box experience!

This winter get inspired with local chainsaw artist Marina Cole as she demonstrates ice carving! Following this demonstration Marina will give you some pointers on hand tool techniques before you try chipping and carving your own small block of ice.

Blocks of ice are approximately 8.5 lbs and measure: 11’’ length x 7.5”width x 3” height. Collaborate or make a frozen masterpiece of your own, but let us know how many blocks of ice you need when buying your ticket.

‍We offer a Family Art Box and an Adult Art Box, be sure to book the right experience for your group. Family Art Box is geared toward little ones and their adult companion, the winter project is recommended for ages 7+, under adult supervision.

Signing up for the Family Art Box experience? If there are small children in your group, it is recommended that caregivers collaborate with their kiddos versus working on their own sculpture. The hand chisels being used in this program have sharp edges. Activity participation is recommended for ages 7+ under adult supervision.

‍Recommended max group size of 5 per ticket to Art Box. One ticket equals one table and all the supplies you will need for up to a maximum of five people.
