Children's Art Factory is a drop-in art studio for young children.

We provide opportunities for young children to explore the world around them by harnessing their innate curiosity with hands-on art experiences that challenge and inspire!

We welcome children of all ages, and value and encourage adult collaboration with children over adult instruction.
