Art Classes & Private Parties | Joplin MO
Private Parties
Adults and children eight years of age, and older are welcome with a minimum of ten participants. We do birthday parties, bridal parties, and Christmas parties, etc. Cost is $25.00 per person, and all materials are furnished.
We are so lucky to have Local Color in Joplin. It is my go-to place for graduation gifts, wedding gifts, Mother’s Day, new house-type of occasions. I can just go in and use it as the art gallery it is and enjoy seeing all the delightful things they have. The people working there have always been helpful and so pleasant. A person can spend as little as ten dollars or as much as (probably) a thousand, with a great variety of beautiful things to choose from within those amounts. It really is a treasure!
