At Brooklyn Art House, we believe every child deserves a place where creativity is celebrated, friendships grow, and childhood feels joyful, curious, and full of possibility.

Located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Art House offers afterschool programs, school break camps, creative art classes, and middle school portfolio prep in a safe, welcoming environment parents can count on.

Here, children are encouraged to explore, experiment, make mistakes, try new things, and discover what they are capable of creating.

More Than An Art Studio

Bay Ridge Afterschool arts program

Brooklyn Art House is built around the belief that art helps children grow in meaningful ways. Through painting, drawing, crafts, mixed media, nature-inspired projects, games, outdoor time, and hands-on activities, kids develop creativity, confidence, fine motor skills, independence, and a stronger sense of self.

Our programs are designed to give children a balance of structure and freedom. They receive guidance and encouragement while still having space to express themselves, build friendships, and enjoy being kids.

For parents, Brooklyn Art House provides something just as important: a dependable place where children are safe, cared for, engaged, and excited to return.
