Weekly art classes & workshops
Small-group classes that meet every week, taught by working artists. Kids progress through three levels, Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, exploring acrylics, clay, pastels, mixed media, and more. They build skills year over year and come home proud of what they made.
Camps
Summer camps, No School Day camps, Spring Break, Fall Break, and Winter Break; whenever school is closed, our studios are open. Small groups, real materials, and finished projects kids take home the same day. Pick a single day or stack the whole week.
The art party they'll talk about all year.
Private birthday parties hosted in our studio with a dedicated party leader, all materials included, and a finished project every guest takes home. We handle the mess, the setup, the cleanup, and everything in between.
Art experiences at your school, event, or community.
We partner with schools, preschools, libraries, community organizations, and corporate events to bring Kidcreate to you. From after-school enrichment to one-day workshops and large community events, our team handles the planning, materials, and setup.

Meet your Chicago Kidcreate family
Allison spent 12 years in a fulfilling corporate career, but she always dreamed of owning a business. After much research, she came across the Kidcreate franchise. She couldn't pass up the opportunity to get in touch with her creative side while making a difference in kids' lives.
Lindsey worked in community art for over a decade. After graduating from the College of Visual Arts with a BFA and St. Mary's University with a MA in arts and cultural management, she worked in a few different galleries and art centers before deciding her passion was in community art and bringing high quality art education to kids and families. After working with the Eden Prairie Kidcreate Studio for almost 10 years she and her partner Allison decided it was time to open their own studio in Chicago.
Allison and Lindsey welcome you and your children to visit the studio, put on an apron and create. After all, making a mess is the best at Kidcreate!
Screen-free, hands-on
Real materials. Real mess. An
hour of focused making that
doesn't involve a tablet.
A creative outlet
For the kid who thinks in pictures, doodles on everything, and has more ideas than time.
A place to belong
Real progression
True skill takes months to build,
but nothing beats the moment
kids actually notice their own
progress.
