Art Studio

Nurture your child's creative potential and unleash their imagination

Let your child’s artistic side shine!

The Art Studio provides a creative outlet for kids of all ages to explore their imagination and unleash their artistic potential. With a focus on using recycled materials, children can express their creativity through structured and unstructured art activities, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece to take home.

Designed for families to flow in and out at their leisure, the Art Studio accommodates visitors of all ages, attention spans, and schedules. We offer a wide array of supplies so children can dive into an endless world of inspiration and experiment with new techniques to bring their creative visions to life.

This exhibit offers the perfect opportunity for kids to develop essential skills like fine motor development, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Being creative also builds confidence and an appreciation for the value of reusing and recycling materials.
