History
Established in 2023.
Children's Art Classes was established in 1997 by Barbara Gay, a public school art teacher who taught for over thirty years. Applying her vast knowledge and experience, she developed the curriculum and began teaching art classes out of her garage. The need for art beyond the school walls was tremendous! Twenty-seven years later, Children's Art Classes has expanded to over a dozen locations and provides weekly art experiences to thousands of children. Each franchise is locally owned and operated. Entrepreneur Magazine named them one of the 150 Hottest New Brands in 2022.
