why are you moving?
To better serve our current families with a beautiful space and more convenient, central location. And to serve high quality process art experiences to more families, Asheville residents, and RAD visitors.
We are also excited to be in community with such a vibrant arts hub, and to allow children to create alongside working artists, all while bringing much-needed family-friendly programming and space to the River Arts District!
what should my kiddo wear?
Play (and paint!) is all over the place at Light + Love Studios. Therefore we suggest comfortable play clothes that can get dirty (think paint stains), Water play is often a core feature in classes + camps, so a change of clothes is also recommended. Rainsuits make for awesome coverups for toddlers during art studio which can often get messy (and fun!).
will my kiddo bring home art?
the answer is: yes, no, maybe, but probably very likely! At Light + Love Studios, children are provided rich opportunities to create and explore, and are never forced to complete a project. Also, somedays their work is collaborative in nature, which doesn’t result in a take-home piece. But most of the time, kiddos are thrilled to show off their creations with pride to caregivers at the end of class or camp! Please note that the Toddler Studios rely heavily on experiential work and play processes, rather than a final result.
