About Us
Located in the heart of North Canaan, we’re on a mission to spark creativity, nurture community, and promote environmental stewardship.
Through a mix of structured and open-ended activities centered around upcycled materials, we inspire young creators to think sustainably, connect with others, and express themselves joyfully. We also provide mobile art programming at various locations.
We believe creativity is a fundamental part of being human, should be accessible to all and created with care for the environment. We focus on making art with children that emphasizes exploration, self-discovery, and the joy of creativity itself, placing value on the act of making rather than the final product.
