Our children's art classes are all about exploration and fun while building a strong artistic foundation.

We help students:

  • Build a strong and diverse portfolio
  • Explore a range of media (drawing, painting, digital art, design)

  • Develop personal style and voice
  • Prepare for art school interviews and submissions

Taught by experienced instructors who know what schools are looking for. 

Why Choose us?

We believe every young artist deserves the right space, tools, and encouragement to grow. Here’s wha

We keep our classes small. All art classes are a maximum of 4 artists and we do personalized 1 on 1 sessions as well. 1 on 1 sessions are great for portfolio prepping!


From absolute beginners to advanced students preparing for university applications, we welcome everyone. Our curriculum is flexible and designed to support students as they progress, no pressure, just growth.


We understand that not all artists move at the same speed. That’s why our approach is tailored to individual progress. Whether a student needs time to build confidence or is ready to tackle advanced techniques, we meet them where they are.


We’ve built a studio culture where creativity is celebrated, ideas are shared, and mistakes are seen as part of the process. Students feel safe to experiment, explore new mediums, and express themselves freely.


We blend classic techniques with modern tools. Students can explore everything from acrylics and watercolour to digital illustration and design, skills that are both fun and relevant in today’s creative industries.


For teens applying to art and design schools, we offer focused portfolio coaching, project planning, portfolio day assistance and interview prep. We help students present their best, most authentic work and stand out in competitive admissions.

Fall classes start: October 6th, 2025
