Art Birthday Party Theme Ideas

Your kids will LOVE showing off their artwork as well as enjoying crafty decor, fabulous foods, amazing art cakes, artsy cupcakes, and memorable party favors. Put the ART in PARTY and get ready to celebrate in style.

Every party needs a setting. Made from plastic table cloths, how creative and unique is this colorful party backdrop? Recreate this Piñata Fridge DIY Photo Backdrop for an art party. Just add some art accessories like these Bob Ross Photo Booth Props. Those would be a hit!| A Kailo Chic Life

This is a sweet treat. We made these Artist Paint Palette Cookies with color my world gift tags. You could put them on an art party dessert table or use them as art birthday party favors. Such an easy recipe especially if you use store bought cookies.

One creative idea for a color or paint party, is have a Candy Station! Fill quart or gallon paint buckets with rainbow candy divided in multiple containers. Have clear cellophane bags or smaller paint buckets for guests to scoop their favorite candies. | Hostess with the Mostess

You can’t have a party without guests. Pick up cute Art Birthday Party Invitations. If you know you will be getting messy, warn your guests by telling them to dress for the occasion! | Bloomberry Designs

What is your favorite art media? Paint, chalk, pastels? Boring old me loves Crayola Crayons. Create Giant Paper Crayons with this free pattern and art cut file! It creates low cost art party decor! | Crafting Cheerfully

These Art Party Food Buffet cards would be so cute on miniature wooden easels. Since you can personalize these art party place cards, you can use them to label food or guests seats. The ideas are endless.

In our year round themed Bingo Game Printables, we shared this free Rainbow Bingo Board Printable. Since I am always looking for a way to entertain guests, this would easily by a half hour party game idea for kids. | Crafting Cheerfully

Rice Krispies Paint Brushes make an adorable art party snack idea. For this art party food idea, insert a craft stick inside a prepackaged Rice Krispies Treat and dip in melted color chocolate. Yep, that easy! | Play Party Plan

This Art Party Cupcake Palette allow guests to decorate their own dessert with candy. This is a cute way for everyone to create art with food. | Moms and Munchkins

Run to the Dollar Store for some low cost paint brushes. These Paint Brush Cake Pops are perfect to add to the art party dessert table. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Get inspired with this Art Party Table perfect for getting messy with your art birthday party activities. I love the rainbow of colors and the personalization on paint pallets. I suggest picking up a white plastic tablecloth for easy tossing. Measure your art table ahead or buy too big to fold over or trim down. | Craving Some Creativity

This vibrantly colorful Artist Birthday Cake would make a great centerpiece on your dessert table! We love the paint palette cake topper, can of paint and paint brush details too! | Catch My Party

That art party cake looks to be a bit challenging. For an Easy Art Birthday Cake, pick up a pre-made cookie cake from your grocery store. Easily transform it into an artist pallet using a pipping bag and colored icing (just get white and add gel food coloring.) | Eclectic Mom Sense

Every messy artist has a container of paint brushes. These Pretzel Rod Paint Brushes add a little bit of salt to a sweet celebration. For this DIY party food, just dip in white vanilla candy melts mixed with vibrant food coloring. | Ashley W

We were so inspired by this Rainbow Fan Garland, that we had to make it for our very own Family Birthday Party. So simple such such cute decor for an artist birthday party. | Ice Cream Off Paper Plates

Throwing an art-themed kid’s birthday party for your little one? Send guests home with these adorable Paint Can Party Favors with a free paint can label template. You can purchase 3″ paint cans with handles in bulk. | Julep
