West Seattle Art Nest – Special Deal for Members!

Want to do something a little bit different with your nanny kids (or own kids)? Need a day or evening out with your girlfriends? Check out the West Seattle Art Nest!

Get creative with their endless crafting options aka “artsploration” (art + exploration… I see what you did there!) with their open studio or channel your inner Picasso in their Paint Room and Splatter Room.  YOU GUYS – THEY DO ALL OF THE PREP AND CLEANUP FOR YOU!  Just go and have fun!  Read on for a SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR NANNY PARENT CONNECTION MEMBERS!

At the Art Nest, they have numerous projects prepped and ready to go.  Open studio time is from 10:00am to 2:00pm Monday through Wednesday, and 10:00am to 5:00pm Thursday and Friday.  What’s that? Your creativity can’t be tamed?

Perfect! Check out their endless crafting supplies to put together your own creation!  There is a paper crafts area, a fabric room, a bead room, a recycled arts room, a paint room, and a splatter room where you actually get to paint on the walls!

Splatter Room

“The splatter room is a total body experience.  It is the one place it is ok to let the paint fly and cover the walls.  We recommend not wearing your Sunday’s best.  The paint provided is washable, but that being said please dress in clothing you do not mind getting dirty and depending on your artist you may want to pack a change of clothes for the ride home.”

Paint Room

“This area is the heart of the studio and where most young artists spend their time.  We provide tempera paints, assorted watercolors, dotters, finger paints and more.  Artists can grab a plan sheet of paper or one of the many prepped paper projects to decorate.”

Recycled Arts Room

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This room is stocked by our wonderful community and includes household recyclables, items from nature and all sorts of bits, babbles, and treasures.”
