What is Art à la Carte?
Think of it as your personal menu of creativity. You choose the project that excites you most—painting, collage, clay, printmaking, and more—and we’ll provide all the materials, step-by-step guidance, and space to make it your own. It's a chance to create something completely unique, whether you’re here for a quick burst of inspiration or a leisurely art session by the sea. Perfect for solo makers, date nights, family time, or a friends’ day out.
A Few Things to Know Before You Visit
Snacks welcome. Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. No alcohol, please — we’re all about good, clean fun.
Self-guided, but supported. Choose your project from our rotating menu. Each one comes with step-by-step instructions, and our team is always nearby if you need a hand.
Reservation timing. Each session runs for two hours. We’ll hold your spot for up to 10 minutes after your scheduled start time.
Need to cancel? No worries — just let us know as soon as possible so we can release your spot to someone else.
Want to hang out after? There’s a public lawn space right next door — perfect for a picnic, a breather, or just soaking up the boardwalk vibes.
Reservations are not required but highly recommended. Space is limited and booking in advance guarantees your spot. Groups of 4 or more should definitely book to ensure you can sit together.
