Art Creation Station
WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
We are a new locally owned art studio in Muskegon that specializes in hosting art parties in our studio or at your location. Due to COVID, we have made a few adjustments with services that we offer. Currently, we have Christmas Holiday paint and take kits available to order online or by phone. We will ship anywhere in the US and curb-side pick up is also available to our local residents.
Broadway Bootcamp
Broadway Bootcamp is a dynamic program designed to build and improve the self-confidence of participants through musical theatre performance. Participants are encouraged to focus their energy in a creative manner and explore self-expression through acting, music, and movement.
Broadway Bootcamp participants learn the basics of musical theatre performance and choreography and then put them together with the assistance of the facilitator to perform their own scene, song, and dance from a Broadway show. It is a high-energy, engaging experience for anyone, no matter their level of stage experience. The variety of daily games and exercises allow participants to discover their hidden talents and expand upon their natural gifts and creativity. The guided instruction provides a structure so participants can present what they have learned in a comfortable, confident manner.
The primary goal: promote a healthy interest in the performing arts while providing a safe environment for participants to recognize and develop their talents and self-expression.
We will be kicking off our 12th year of operation virtually with a variety of weekly classes for you to choose from from January-March. Look for our summer camps to be announced in April! We offer weekly camps in Muskegon, Norton Shores, Cedar Springs, Rockford, Hudsonville and more!
