Private Studio Time at Start with Art

Did you know we offer private studio time for your child’s special projects? Whether they’re working on a science fair display, a 4-H project, or a creative assignment, we’ve got you covered!

Instead of buying a bunch of supplies you may only use once, families can book our studio and enjoy access to our art materials, tools, and creative space.

🖌️ What’s Included:
• Two hours of studio time
• Access to art and craft supplies
• A supportive, creative environment
• Space to focus and bring ideas to life

Cost: $25 for a two-hour session
(All proceeds help support our supplies and our mission to serve youth through art.)

This is a fun, affordable way to help your child succeed while supporting a local nonprofit that believes in the power of creativity and learning.

📩 Message us to book your session today!

Support Our Mission Through Sponsorship

At Start with Art, our heart is in helping kids and teens grow emotionally, creatively, and confidently through the power of art. Every class, every event, and every safe space we provide is made possible because of the generosity of our community.

Our Mission Sponsorship Levels are now open, and these partnerships are incredibly vital to keeping our programs strong and accessible. Sponsorships help us provide supplies, scholarships, mental health teen nights, community events, and creative opportunities for youth who may not otherwise have access.

Whether you’re a business, organization, or individual, every donation, big or small, makes a difference. 💙
No amount is too small. Every single gift helps us reach more kids, support more families, and expand our impact.

From $100 scholarships to major event sponsorships, there is a level for everyone who wants to be part of something meaningful.

If you’ve ever believed in what we do, now is a beautiful time to partner with us and invest in the future of our youth.

Thank you for supporting art, healing, creativity, and community. We truly couldn’t do this without you. 💛

Wow, another amazing meeting, this time with YSB Safe Place! I’m so excited to share that Start with Art is going to become an official Safe Place location, creating yet another safe and supportive space for youth in our community to go during times of crisis.

For those who may not know, YSB Safe Place is a national outreach program designed to give youth an immediate place to go when they feel unsafe, overwhelmed, or in danger. Safe Place sites are clearly identified locations where kids and teens can walk in and ask for help. From there, trained staff connect them with the support and resources they need, whether that’s a safe adult, crisis support, or additional services.

We are truly looking forward to the training and future collaborations as we work together on ways to expand this program locally and make sure more youth know they are not alone.

I was also honored to invite two other incredible organizations to join this conversation (Bee Wings & Fuzzy Things & Nurturing Rose Yoga) because it’s going to take all of us working together to strengthen the support around our kids and families.

I’m especially excited about the ways we can incorporate this resource into our Monday Mental Health Teen Nights, as well as future Start with Art events. The more parents and adults become aware of this program, the more opportunities our children have to feel safe, supported, protected, and seen.

This is the kind of partnership that creates real impact and I can’t wait for what’s ahead !!!

Today our CEO had the opportunity to meet with Nichole, the owner of Nurturing Rose Yoga in Union City, and we are so excited about what’s ahead!

This meeting was truly inspiring, and we are thrilled to begin collaborating with Nichole on future programming that supports mental wellness in meaningful, healthy ways. Together, we look forward to bringing art projects, mindfulness & meditation, yoga, and other empowering tools into our mission at Start With Art, helping youth and families discover creative and calming ways to cope, grow, and heal.

We’re also honored to share that Nichole will be one of our featured speakers at our upcoming Start with Art Mental health Matters Benefit Concert , where she will be speaking on the importance of boundaries and mindfulness, two powerful topics that can truly change lives.

We’re so grateful for community partners like Nichole who are passionate about mental health and committed to creating a positive impact. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what we create together! 💛
