Who We Are

Painting Pandas classes are not merely “arts and crafts;” they consist of original themes that adhere to the exclusive Painting Pandas developed curriculum and encompass much more than art. Our courses include not only art projects, but also literacy/books, geography, science, art history, and an introduction to living contemporary artists. Painting Pandas students walk away with not only unique and personal art creations, but confidence and life-long learning skills. We like to say we aren’t changing the world, but we are changing our kids so they can hopefully change the world.

Our Mission

Painting Pandas’ mission centers around the belief that art is an essential avenue for creativity, problem-solving, social development, and emotional expression and should be accessible to all. By providing art classes and quality art supplies to elementary-age children grades kindergarten thru 5th in economically disadvantaged areas, we believe they will learn by seeing and doing rather than simply watching and listening.

Our Vision

Painting Pandas will use visual art and art-making as a tool to create joy, hope, confidence, and inspiration for all who participate.

Our vision is that exposure to art will build communication skills, confidence and create platforms for future problem-solving and life-long skills.
