THE ART GARAGE

OUR STORY

It all started with 6 kids around my kitchen table. I wanted to teach my boys about art and give them an opportunity to get a little messy and figured it would be more fun with a few friends. Word got out. More of their friends wanted to join in the fun. We soon outgrew my kitchen and moved to the only other place that was safe to sling paint: the garage. That’s where our name came from! Kids would come over to our house and ask, “Ms Monica, when can we go in your art garage?” My passion for teaching art grew along with the number of little people coming to be taught. Before I knew it, we had 40+ kids coming to my house every week. That’s when we thought we might be onto something. My husband and I started thinking: should we just go on having longer waiting lists or do we take a scary leap of faith? Well, we cashed in our chips, both figuratively and literally, and I’m so glad we did.
