Make Every Saturday a Masterpiece!

ArtSmart is a Saturday-only program designed to spark your child’s imagination, build confidence, and make learning truly fun—all through the power of art.


Because your child deserves more than worksheets.


At ArtSmart, we combine education and creativity in a way that keeps kids excited about learning. Every Saturday, children explore big ideas—like science, culture, history, math, and storytelling—through hands-on, age-appropriate art activities. Whether it’s painting a planet, acting out a story, or building a mini sculpture garden, your child will be learning without even realizing it.


What Makes ArtSmart Unique?

  • Learning Through Art: We teach real-world concepts using creative expression—boosting critical thinking, communication, and curiosity.
  • All-Inclusive Fun: Perfect for ages 5–12, with tailored activities that grow with your child.
  • A Screen-Free Saturday: Engaging, active, and off the tablet—ArtSmart gets kids moving, making, and discovering.
  • New Themes Weekly: From diving into ancient history to learning modern science, every Saturday is a new creative journey.

Benefits for Children Who Enroll in the ArtSmart Program

Enriching Weekend Experience

No tablets. No screens. Just hands-on fun and meaningful learning.


 In a world full of digital distractions, ArtSmart offers a refreshing space where kids can engage with the real world, get messy, make things, and use their hands and minds together. It’s a weekend activity parents and the kids can feel good about.

Builds Social Skills & Teamwork

ArtSmart encourages kids to collaborate and share ideas.


 Working on group projects, participating in discussions, or simply creating side-by-side helps children develop communication skills, empathy, and the confidence to engage in social settings—all in a safe, nurturing environment.

Boosts Creativity & Self-Expression

ArtSmart allows kids to express themselves in bold, imaginative ways.


Through painting, sculpting, storytelling, and movement, kids explore who they are and how they see the world. This kind of creative confidence builds self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and a sense of identity—all while having a blast.

Strengthens Critical Thinking

Every creative project is also a challenge to think differently.

From figuring out how to build something to choosing the right color or technique, kids are constantly solving problems, making decisions, and thinking outside the box. These are lifelong skills that go far beyond art class.

Enhances Learning Across Subjects

We use art as a bridge to explore math, history, science, and language.


 Every Saturday, your child learns real-world concepts through hands-on, theme-based projects that make learning come alive. It's a fun, memorable way to reinforce academic skills—without the pressure of a classroom.
