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

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

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

  • Our drop-in art studio for young children features multiple hands-on art and sensory stations. Our studio is open daily, on a first come, first served basis. Registration is not required. Pre-booking is not available.
