WHO WE ARE

About Let's Make Art

Not everyone has a ton of time or space to create. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to start now.

We'll encourage you to try new things and take risks. We'll laugh with you when things don’t turn out quite as planned. We promise to challenge you and to teach you to enjoy the process of making art.

If you promise to be kind to yourself, not to compare your art to others, and to have fun, then we're going to have a great time together. Let's make some art!

-The Let’s Make Art Team

Our Vision

We want to give you a space to grow creatively. The simple act of taking time to create something with your own hands will have a positive impact on your life.

If you are able to let go of the expectation that every attempt should be perfect, then you’ll be able to make room for what really matters when it comes to art: Mindfulness, Learning, Community, and Having Fun! Give yourself permission to make ‘mistakes.’ Give yourself permission to take an hour just for you. Give yourself permission to play. Let’s make some art.
