Grand Prix New York launches Arts Garage

Visual Arts Studio serves all ages with parties, classes and projects

Grand Prix New York (GPNY), the area’s leading indoor entertainment and team-building venue, has announced the opening of the Arts Garage - a visual arts studio for children, teens and adults. This summer, the Arts Garage will offer art-centered birthday parties, group and team-building projects and classes, as well as walk-in hours Wednesday through Sunday. In the fall, after a grand opening celebration, offerings will expand to include classes for all ages.

Current packages include a main art project – paint your own pottery, jewelry making, tie dye, glass fusion, mosaics, or cake decorating – as well as a special Arts Garage apron, and either a kids meal or cheese platter with soft drink or drink ticket. Walk-ins can paint mugs or sculptures, take advantage of traditional drawing and painting activities, and create jewelry and mosaics. Children can use buckets of chalk to draw on the full-wall chalkboard.

The Arts Garage is the latest in a series of additions to GPNY offerings, including Spins Bowl, an expanded arcade, and a world-class racing simulator. “This has been the vision for Grand Prix all along: to create a venue where children, families and professionals are entertained in every way possible, all under one roof,” said GPNY CEO Bill Diamond. 

Grand Prix New York’s new Events Manager and Arts Garage coordinator Jacy Abbott adds: “Grand Prix is truly a one-stop shop for excitement and adventure. Visitors can race, bowl, play in the redemption arcade, zoom along in the simulator, hang out in the bouncy castle, refuel in our full service restaurant, indulge their inner artist – without leaving the building.”
