Parent Recommendations:
"Darlene is fantastic! She has set up her art projects at two of our house party events ~ skillfully entertained and dazzled kids and adults alike. Dozens of kids, ranging in age from 4-12 years old, chose from a wide selection to age-appropriate projects, including finger stitch, foil art, pompom critters, pipe-cleaner figurines, water coloring, picture frame decorating, and bracelet/necklace-making and were thoroughly engaged, making the party fun for the kiddos and giving their grown-update a break to enjoy the party."
~ Mom: Janis (Brooklyn, NY)
"Darlene, of the Traveling Art Shack, did an amazing job with my 5 year old’s birthday party. She planned a fabulous DIY pillow project for 10 little girls (personalized with their pictures and made wonderful keepsakes) and provided a fun tattoo station and necklace/bracelet making station as side projects. She is amazing with children, conscientious about what works for different ages and spaces, very well organized and calm despite lots of little ones running around! She had great ideas, knew exactly how to engage the little ones, and made the entire party stress-free for me. I would absolutely hire her again and plan to for next year’s party!"
~ Mom: Millie (Brooklyn, NY)
"Darlene with her traveling art shack is the most amazing, inventive and fun (birthday) party organizer! For our New Year's Eve party, she kept a group of 6-8 kids of different ages busy with creative games and activities while the adults had time to relax and chat. She instantly transformed the room into a fun and inspiring party environment, and she brought all the supplies for activities, games and even healthy snacks. She is a natural with children of any age and has the imagination, skills and experience to keep them engaged for hours. The children had a wonderful time, laughing, playing and discovering! Darlene is not only an absolute expert in event management but also trustworthy, reliable and responsible.
I would recommend Darlene and her traveling art shack services for your child's next birthday party or event!"

"I'm so thrilled to recommend Darlene and her Travelling Art Shack for your kid's party entertainment needs. This is our second year with Darlene and our daughter Sasha (age 6) loves her! She is incredibly creative and her arts and crafts ideas are so fun and entertaining for kids. She makes the most simple project into something really special. Darlene is also very organized and neat - I had a bunch of 6 year old's painting and making slime in my living room and Darlene left it all spotless. Darlene is amazing!!"
~Mom: Sabrina (Brooklyn, NY)
"Darlene organized and led a wonderful birthday party for my 5 year old -- Pinwheel Art Party and Learning the Art of Finger Stitch. My daughter and all her friends loved the activities, were engaged the entire time, and had lots of fun throughout. I was impressed at how organized Darlene was, arriving early at our apartment to set up, and moving the activities along smoothly. She was always very communicative and responsive, including beforehand as we decided on the right activities for my daughter. I whole-heartily recommend Darlene's Traveling Art Shack for a great kids arts and crafts birthday party!"
