Karaoke and Koffee

Informal Karaoke Family Style in the ArtisTree Cafe Treehouse! You can even grab a craft to do or play a board game with your friends as you soak up the atmosphere and sing your heart out. Perfect pitch is absolutely not required, only a sense of fun and whimsy!

Teas, Flavored Expresso Drinks, Sodas, Italian Sodas, Floats and Shakes are available to enjoy in addition to our fun custom waffle bowls in snack or meal sizes.

Kids 14 and under are prioritized for the first half hour, so they can get their song on and still get home in time for bed.

Class includes:

2 Hours of Teaching Time

All needed Materials

A Food and Drink Voucher

Lots of Fun!

A note from Jennifer about herself:
I am an adopted child; both of my parents are Native American but I was adopted to German/Polish parents. Fortunately my parents were committed to ensuring I knew and was connected to my heritage as I grew up, and I am excited to share this piece of it with you!
I have always loved art! So much that I earned an associates degree in Commercial Art. I simply love any kind of artistic expression: Photography, Drawing, Airbrush, Beading, and of course making Dreamcatchers!
Throughout my life I have always loved learning absolutely anything. Learning is the way of life!
I look forward to meeting you in this new class!

Galentines Taboo Game

by

Come spend some time with your community and remember that YOU are valued and loved for yourself, and it doesn’t matter whether you are inside a relationship, seeking a relationship, or joyfully single forever.

We are going to have a blast playing games like Taboo. You can count on lots of shouting, laughing and general silliness. This first Game Time is family friendly, and you are welcome to bring your kids. We’ll keep it PG. (Check our events calendar for the 18+ Games that come right after this)

Dress code is whatever, as long as it’s appropriate for kids to see. Wear that dress you’ve had no excuse to wear all year or go pajama party style – in fact we’ll take a dollar off any purchase over $5 if you come in footie pajamas, a cosplay costume, or dressed worthy of a Royal Ball.

Don’t spend singles awareness day being sad in a wine bottle alone, come get goofy with us instead!

Learn Plywood CartoonCutouts

by

Learn to make cute plywood cutouts and get in some volunteer hours helping ArtisTree Community decorate our Cafe’s front yard!

No previous experience is needed, and all abilities can be useful.

Come make some art to share with every car that passes our cafe!

Come for some of the time or all of the time! We need all the help we can get to make this space as awesome as possible.

You are welcome to bring your kids, we love cross generational community. There will be power tools and paint smells in the vicinity and we are not providing babysitters. You know your kids best, whether you can safely supervise them and whether they will have fun at this kind of event.

No ticket is needed, but it is SUPER helpful if you can RSVP on the linked Facebook Event page so we can get a general idea of how many people are coming.
