Date Night Idea – Book your Spot
Calling all parents and caregivers! Need a night out without the “what about the kids?” guilt? DotArt has your back with their brand-new Kids’ Night at DotArt — and it’s the perfect way to enjoy a stress-free date night (or just a few quiet hours to yourself). Happening on May 3rd and May 17th from 6–9PM at the Walter Baker Lofts (1231 Adams Street), this fun-filled evening is for kiddos ages 6–10 and includes themed art projects, creative expression, friend-making, and plenty of laughs. Materials and snacks? Covered. Cost is $50, with sibling discounts and a sliding scale available. Spread the word, book your spot, and enjoy that night out… your little artist will be just fine!
