Creative IQ Art Studio
About
Outer Richmond art studio with a backyard
Creative IQ sits on Balboa Street in SF's Outer Richmond - a neighborhood studio with an on-site gift shop, gallery, and a backyard that doubles as outdoor class space when the fog lifts. Not a chain, not a franchise, just a community art school.
Classes for kids through teens
Enrollment is ongoing rather than semester-locked. Classes include:
- Little Artists (ages 5-6)
- Kids and teen fine art (ages 7-17)

Experience
The vibe is community-minded rather than prep-school - kids get room to experiment, and the on-site gallery means finished work actually gets seen. A good fit for Richmond/Sunset families looking for an open-ended art outlet.
