If you're planning a birthday look no further!!! Seriously they do a wonderful job and it's not overwhelming soooo much fun and no need for favors because the art is the party favors!!! We had a variety of ages and all of the kids had such a wonderful time. Thank you Abby, Kiara and the whole team this is one for the books which reminds me I left my book oh well I'll get it next week with the pots! (The pinch pot section isn't pictured because everyone was having too much fun making pinch pots) read more

This place awakened my toddler's inner artist. Ever since going, we have made time for art everyday. Prior to going, he was mostly interested in banging crayons around like they were drum sticks. Since visiting, he has started coloring, painting, using street chalk and markers. read more

My daughter just did a Taylor swift summer camp here and had the absolute BEST time!! It was her favorite camp she's ever done. The teachers were so sweet and great with the kids and they did the cutest projects. My daughter was so excited everyday to go to camp. They also did the cutest need of camp party with a DJ and dancing. We are so happy with the experience we had here! read more

We went for Valentine's Day & it was really fun for my two kiddos. They were able to do studio and outdoor sensory activities as well. We will be back again soon! read more

Such a wonderful place to take the kids. We had 5 kids with us. Ages 2 and 6, and each kid had a blast. The Toddler explore hour was fun, I wish we had 15-30 more minutes. I loved how the area is contained, so when all 5 kids split up we were able to divide and conquer without worrying about the kids safety. Outside area was great for open air play with paint. The staff were just the sweetest. So glad we found this place, I hope it stays around for a long time because the community is better for it. Thank you for inspiring our little artists read more

Best studio for all ages. My 2 year old daughter loves the staff and are like family at this point. Aria, Kiara & TJ have been so helpful with my little ones creative development! Highly recommend! read more

I recently threw my daughter's 9th birthday party here & it was a slime themed party! Very hands on, the kids had a blast, but my husband and I were the ones majorly helping the kids around the studio & at the various slime stations... while there were atleast 4-5 instructors only one was going around asking for the kids if they needed help! (Shoutout Melly & the Dj) overall for $500 I thought they would be more involved with the kids! They had a fun time but I wouldn't throw my child's birthday party here again. Cute studio though! read more

Love the sensory outdoor play. Although parents are there to watch their kids, in my opinion, water beads should not be included as little ones are playing around. I saw a baby picked it up and was about to put it in her mouth. We were able to stop her. The mom was attending to her other child at that time. We do love this place! My children gets excited when we tell them that we're going to I heart art. read more

I Heart Art studio is a fun, creative and welcoming space. My preschool aged kids had a blast making different kinds of art using different art techniques and mediums. The outdoor patio area is filled with interesting, fun and messy sensory stations. The entire studio is clean, organized, well kept and bright. read more

My four year old had so much fun at an open studio day! There was so much for her to do and she loved being able to try a little bit of everything. Can't wait to come back and maybe try a class next time. read more

We had my daughter's 7th birthday here back in February, and it was so cute and easy as a parent. Two young ladies hosted the party for the kids, and had multiple activities set up to match the theme. They were super kind and patient and kept the kids engaged the whole time, and made my daughter feel so special for her bday. All I had to do was bring our pizza and cupcakes! My daughter and her friends had a blast and I would totally recommend this if you have a smaller group of kids who love to do arts and crafts. So much more chill than a Chuck e Cheese or Rockin Jump party! read more

We have had a few parties there and.... 5 stars for everything. The owner is so great, and the kids have a good time, and everything is 100%. This is a small business that everyone should know about. read more

We had a wonderful girls night here! There's plenty of parking and the location of the studio had a really cool vibe to it. It's tucked away but is walking distance to lots of great restaurants and shopping. I would highly recommend for any size group!! read more

We celebrated our daughters 6th birthday with her friends here and we couldn't have asked for more! We had two lovely instructors that were great with all the kids, plenty of fun projects to do. Everything was organized and well thought out. Thank you! read more

cool place for kids to hangout, paint and do various crafts. Would recommend if your kids are bored and need something to do.

We went here today for a mother-son date and had a BLAST! We stayed for two hours but my son could have stayed allllll day. Everyone was really nice and helpful too. We will definitely be back. read more

My grandkids have been going here since they opened. They have enjoyed it immensely! They have classes for all ages including adults. It's the best! read more

One of the best toddler parties ever! Just had my daughter's 4th birthday party here and it was absolutely perfect. I'll admit, I was worried about the short set-up time allotted, but they are VERY helpful and truly, pretty much everything is set up for you before you arrive - you just add your own personal touches (tablecloths, plates, silverware, cups, and a few balloons, if you want). Super easy for the host, easy for the parents because there is so much to do and there are instructors (Aria & Olivia were amazing with the kids & our face painter Millie was great too!) there to help guide the kids through the activities, lots of fun for the kids and many options to keep them entertained for a few hours, short set up and no clean up needed! Amazing! ALL the kids had fun (ages 2-9). Highly recommend! Thank you to I Heart Art for a most memorable birthday celebration for us all! :) read more

My children love to come here! We have lots of fun painting, creating projects) they have so much things to do- we got so many awesome stuff as a presents to our daddy, grandparents and friends! It's is sooo amazing ! In addition, I do not need to clean up paint in my house)))) yay! That's the most important thing ) read more

Last winter, I was looking for ways to spend the school break with the kids. We had our staples to enjoy: Sacramento train museum, indoor play spaces, and library story time. But I was on the lookout for something different. Enter: I Heart Art. My then-three-year old twins are very different. My son is all about things that go: cars, trucks, trains, planes. My daughter can appreciate her brother's interests but loves baby dolls and art. I'm really not sure which is her absolute favorite, but I'd rather see her create something from her mind than watch her tuck a doll into a tiny crib or be forced to try and help her doll put her teeny tiny clothes back on. I Heart Art has then and now a four hour open studio time. The owners set up stations throughout the studio to engage the kids in creating art. Some of the stations are thematic, (e.g., holiday decorations), others are standard (e.g., lego wall, painting wall). Going to I Heart Art during the Open Studio time was a risk. Among the most probable scenario was what if she liked it and he didn't? Would we leave? Would I cut her fun short to avoid him creating a scene? I didn't know what to expect. Still I thought it'd be worth the risk. We were the first to arrive that day. I'd sent a message to a number of their classmates' parents because I figured we were all in the same boat trying to figure out something to do. A few were able to join. Some even spread the word. And so here were kids primed to create art. And they did. After three hours, we walked out with our arms filled of activities and smiles on the kids' faces. My daughter moved from station to station slowly and purposefully. She explored each and every project. My son moved much more rapidly, but found his groove with the LEGO wall, and play doh. Both showed increased concentration as they discovered more. The space is awesome. You can paint. You can play with clay. You can create crafty things. There is giant loom. I was surprised when my son took a fabric strip and started with the loom. He said, "We have one at school." There are so many art supplies throughout this one large room that we could spend all day every day and never do everything. With the stations setup for the Open Studio, we didn't have to be paralyzed with options. We had the activities narrowed down, but with a lot of built-in freedom. There's so much variety that there ends up being not just something for everyone, but multiple somethings for everyone. When their friends arrived the first time, it was really nice. Not only did the kids enjoy making art together, but as parents we were able to socialize in a way that the hurried drop-off and pick-up times usually don't offer. What's great about the Open Studio is that it's open. The one, very large and tall room reminded me of the art studios in college. The huge plus for me is that the kids can be in different areas of the room, enjoying radically different experiences, and I can see them both. Plus, the women who work there went out of their way to help my kids make the most of their time by providing instruction and additional options when necessary. We've been back several times and have enjoyed it each and every time. They offer memberships which we probably should look into. But they also offer attractive hourly rates. I'm looking forward to when they're older and they are able to take classes and attend the camps. I Heart Art is a phenomenal place. A true gem in the community. With so much focus on STEM education, it's nice to see a place where art is emphasized. read more

We've hosted two birthday parties with I Heart Art and I cannot say enough good things about how much fun the kids had and how easy the studio was to work with. My husband just saw me writing this review and asked if we could buy this place extra stars, that's the level of happy customers that we are. read more

This is a magical place for kids to explore art. They have classes here for all levels, and I've attended two spectacular birthday parties here with my son. I Heart Art is clearly the realization of a passionate vision, and everything about it sparks joy and uplifts the community. Our family is grateful for this place! read more

A great place to host a party for an 8 year old. Lots of projects for them to work on. A great mix of structured activities and free play to create. Our party hosts were a little on the quiet side. I feel like I may have been able to direct the kids and wouldn't have needed a second host but you have to when you have more than 8 kiddos. Will be back here for open studio time with both my Littles. read more

Hidden gem! Such a great place to bring toddlers - they have ALL the arts and craft supplies available and ready for a couple hours of fun. Nice for parents to not have to worry about the mess or stains at home. Highly recommend. read more

What a great place to have in our community! My 7 year son came here for a birthday party a few months ago and a great time. I took an adult workshop and had a blast. Everyone who works here is very sweet and passionate about art! My son is doing a camp this summer and he's very excited about it because they are going to create a float for the Pleasant Hill 4th of July parade! I only wish the camps were a bit longer because 2.5 hours is pretty short for working parents trying to juggle schedules. read more

This is a great indoor art place for children. Every visit each table with art projects have been different. My daughter enjoys coming here.

I've gone several times and I have to say every single time its always fun! Great projects for kids to work on and they also have the sensory play for the younger ones outside which is always interesting since they have a different layout to keep things new. Their projects are clearly explained and the staff is always welcoming and helpful! read more

This review is WAY OVERDUE. I had my son's 4th birthday party at this art studio in 2017 and it was so wonderful! The owners of this shop are so sweet, so accommodating and genuinely want you to have a great experience. They did a custom them for us - race cars and it was so wonderful. The space is beautiful, bright, cheerful and so stocked full of wonderful materials and a variety that is great for all ages of kids. We had kids as young as 1.5 up to 7 years and they all enjoyed the different stations and art/crafts set up for them. They have a great long table for your refreshments when you have a private party, which was great. We ordered pizza and had a lot of treat! I highly recommend i heart art. for a party or even for an afternoon of arts & crafts during their open studio. Thank you for a wonderful party! read more

I can literally only say amazing things about this place and am beyond thankful for it. I Heart Art was created for kids to be the best of themselves through creating art and using their imagination in the best possible way. Little did the amazing owners know that they were also creating a safe and happy place for parents to do the same. Amy and Abby's visión for I Heart Art is everything any parent (or anyone really!) would want for their children or themselves. I know this may sound like a bit much for a "kids art studio", but you have to visit I Heart Art to truly experience the magic that happens within its walls. I Heart Art you're stuck with us! read more

What a gem of a place. Our 2.5 year old has a great time being creative without boundaries. There was almost nothing she could destroy while painting and coloring (what a rare feeling when you have a toddler) I would absolutely recommend this place for parents and kids of all ages! read more

I'm IN! And I have held out until now with getting a subscription to any toddler activity type place. The owner was so friendly and so helpful. It's nice to be in a place where I'm more able to let my kid be a kid because I don't have to worry about the mess or set up etc. I especially appreciated the different stations since my two year old can sometimes have a bit of ADD. But all of the stations were engaging enough that she kept coming back to finish her projects. I'm. In. Love. read more

What a neat place! My son didn't want to leave. I enjoyed watching him explore and create.

This place rocks for kids and adults! My girls love to create here and there is always something new to try. The adult open studios are also very fun. read more

I took my daughter here today for a mommy-daughter date, and I was so impressed! My daughter loves making art projects, but hates cleaning up the mess. Enter I Heart Art! They do all the work for us! We will absolutely come back again and again. read more

My kids love this place and their at-home art kits are really fun too!

My girls absolutely love this place ! Having moved from another country, we have always wished for such a place to exist where the kids creative side can be let free and we couldn't be happier about having found that place! And the best part is that everytime u visit, They have different activities Set up for the kids. We love it !! read more

This is an amazing spot to take your kids for "open studio" or to take your kids (our yourself) to art/craft classes! Here's what I love most about the adult classes: They offer tea, and there's beautiful lighting and a lovely airy (but cosy) feel to the place. And the instructors are super talented. Getting to take an art class here beats going to the rec center any day!! And here's what I love the most about their open studio time: 1) It's an open-concept space, so you (as a parent or caregiver) can easily participate in the art with your kids for some really fun, no-stress quality time. Or, if you prefer that your kids were more independent, you can each work on your own art/craft/writing project while still keeping an eye on your child. 2) There are a ton of well thought-out projects that you and your kids can do, and the set-up changes often, so no one is ever bored. 3) you and your kids can be as neat or messy as you/they want, and you don't have to do any of the clean-up. 4) the space is large, airy, and beautiful (and an especially nice retreat on hot or wintery days). 5) it's a convenient location, very close to downtown pleasant hill (perfect for playdates!) 6) the prices are very reasonable. you can become a member for unlimited use of their openstudio time (like a gym membership for exercising your kid's creativity and your own), or you can use the space on a drop-in basis. Sure, maybe I could have saved a *tiny* bit of money by setting up one or two of the art projects by myself at my home, but I definitely couldn't have set up as many projects as this place has (to keep my kids occupied for nearly so long); plus, we don't have a ton of space in our house for that, and I definitely don't have the time to be thinking of new creative projects and then running around buying/ordering the supplies, setting up, and then scrubbing everything down afterwards. This space does all that, all with a super chill vibe. truly amazing. 7) the facilitators are super caring and engaging (and former art/elementary school teachers), and are exceptional at encouraging kids to be creative! They are great models of how creativity can (and should be) taught/encouraged through example. Anyways, I've never seen anything quite like this place, and I can't say enough good things about it!! read more
