What is an Art Experience?
An Art Experience at Burkhead Art Center is a hands-on creative adventure designed to be shared. Gather your friends, family, or coworkers for a memorable group activity that blends art, laughter, and connection.
Each session is led by one of our skilled instructors in one of the studio classrooms on our beautiful property, located just outside Snohomish and Monroe, surrounded by nature. Our welcoming Art Center is filled with art, inspiration, and all the tools and materials you’ll need. You’ll explore the joy of making something by hand while learning new techniques in the art medium of your choice.
Art Experiences are perfect for birthdays, team-building events, or simply spending quality time together in a creative way.
Minimum of 3-4 participants required to book. The maximum number of guests is dependent on the class type you choose.
Feel free to bring food and beverages of your choice — we’ll handle the rest.
