Our Programs

Our creativity and character programs help K-8 learners cultivate their innate creativity as a way to develop greater compassion and connection to learning through arts integration. Research shows that our basic human need for connection drives our behavior and influences our sense of identity. By infusing our lives with access to creative play and invitations for structured skill development within a caring container, we increase an individual's resilience, imagination, and ability to self-actualize their genius. We're on a mission to ensure that every human get this opportunity and to empower every kid (even big kids at heart) with opportunities to develop mindful awareness, curiosity, and growth mindset principles through creative development.

"I thought this was just a coloring book, but it wants you to cut things up and tear things out! How did you come up with this stuff Ms. Vita?!"
-Malcom
1st grade student

We teach that great artists do more than make great art; we learn to lead from the heart.
As young heARTISTS get an introduction to important art basics, they also get to experience the power of growth mindset thinking and how developing the character traits of a great human can serve them beyond their creative practices.
Our signature Creativity and Character program has served thousands of kids in schools, non-profits, and families all over the Bay Area. In this program, K-8 learners are invited to co-create a community by cultivating mindful awareness of their experiences. Learning is deepened through hands-on art projects, games, stories and playful prompts that build SEL skills and growth mindset thinking.
