Ace Hotel

Artist Karen Kimmel comes back to Ace with Kimmel Kids, Splendid and a bunch of talented friends for a family weekend of interactive art workshops, storytelling, s'mores and creative fun for families at Crafting Community. Workshops include underwater photography, succulent gardens, how to customize t-shirts and sneakers, henna tattoos, leatherworking, creative cookies and macramé.  

Karen Kimmel brings along a talented team to help your young artists explore their creative side, including Tanya Aguiñiga, Cathy Callahan, Clare Vivier, Sarah Shreves, and Rene Holgiun of RTH. Fitness and recreation activities include skateboarding, relay races, obstacle courses and a ping-pong tournament brought to you by Undefeated and The Yard. Details of the weekend taken care of by Kid Concierge. See shots from Crafting Community 2010 here.

Poolside fun kicks off with morning yoga and continues into the evening with family BBQ, game night, and a desert disco. Milk + Bookies will host storytelling under the stars and Andy Griffith & Rose Apodaca of A+R's Toy Lab will feature a beautiful selection of innovative toys. Onsite we’ll have a lending library and custom Karen Kimmel teepees.
