More Info on Kids Day Off

With the holidays approaching we figure parents might like an extra three hours for themselves! So on Sunday, November 24 and Sunday, December 15 from 2-5pm we will offer a special program called Kids Day Off. During Kids Day Off keiki can hang out with us and explore various creative activities in a safe and fun atmosphere while parents have some time to get holiday cards done, get a little exercise, visit with friends, or do whatever else needs to be done! $35 per child but if you sign up a sibling then sibling cost is $30. (This program is similar to our Kids Night Out Program but we are offering these dates in the afternoon instead.)

About Art Explorium

Art Explorium provides a community art studio to nurture the creative potential in children.

Art Explorium is a non-profit organization in Kaimuki that provides art opportunities for youth. Stop by and try out our art stations (request a $5 per person coupon>>>).

Description
Nurturing tomorrow's creative thinkers

Art Explorium provides a fun, safe place where children of all ages have the opportunity and the permission to create freely. We firmly believe that art experiences are an important part of every person's growth and development. So... WE provide the space and materials, YOU provide the ideas and make them happen!

Art Explorium strives to be an eco-friendly organization. Many of the art materials in our studio are items that would normally be thrown in the landfill (old pieces of fabric, used bottle caps, small boxes, magazines, ribbon, etc.). We collect these used materials from our friends and local businesses, and Art Explorium visitors give these items a new life as art.

We offer art classes, birthday parties, and field trips to our studio. We also offer Open Studio time - come on in with your family and dabble in one or all of our art stations which offer activities like painting, sculpting, drawing, making mosaics and more. See you there!

General Information
Come on by! During Open Studio time you are free to drop in, use our space and materials and explore the process of creating.

We also offer art classes, birthday parties and field trips to our studio!

Notes
Hours and price subject to change without notice.
Ample metered parking is available on the street or in the lot behind our building.
