ARTplay Children's Studio
About
ARTplay Children's Studio is a dedicated kids art space on North Ashland in Lexington's Chevy Chase neighborhood, built around process-and-play instead of step-by-step craft kits.
Programs
- Summer Camp (June-July) - mornings 9am-1pm with multi-week themed sessions
- Weekly Art Classes (August-May) - school-year cohorts by age band
- Open Studio Sessions - drop-in experimentation time
- Birthday Parties & Private Events - studio bookings with project per guest
- School Break Camps - day camps for fall, winter, and spring breaks
What's Included
All materials are provided, classes are staffed with two teachers minimum (1:8 ratio), and instruction emphasizes child development through process exploration rather than finished-product worksheets.
Experience
The studio runs Tuesday-Saturday with a Thursday extension to 6:30pm and Saturday morning sessions. Fall classes occasionally move outdoors to nearby parks, but the home base on Ashland is purpose-built for messy projects with washable surfaces and toddler-height stations.
