Specialized Arts Programming ages 6+

Welcome to Tiny Pencil Studios!

We co-create thoughtful and thought provoking art education, rooted in curiosity, experimentation and care alongside your young artist!

With a focus on experimentation, exploration and mistake making over specific technique and finished product, Tiny Pencil Studios' After School Art Experiments programs expose young artists to local visual culture, national and international art histories and a wide variety of fine art materials, processes and ideas

We explore the potential of expressing our own inner worlds, interests and skills as pathways to community contribution, empathy and feelings of belonging.
