New York, a state as colorful and lively as a well-used paint palette, sparkles on the canvas of the United States. It's not just skyscrapers and hot dog stands - it has a heart full of nature, with green mountains and glittering lakes, where the deer and the chipmunks play hide and seek. And, the kids in New York, oh boy! They're artists with the spirit of Picasso and creativity of Van Gogh, and a dash of New York energy. Right in the middle of all this hustle and bustle, you'll find a hoppity-skippity fellow named Doodle the Art Squirrel. Doodle, with his vibrant tail that changes colors like a chameleon, is the creative guide for our young New Yorker artists. Sporting a beret and a twirly mustache, he hops from tree to tree, rooftop to rooftop, carrying his bag of magic art supplies. He visits kids who love to dabble in art and crafts, helping them create masterpieces beyond their wildest dreams. He adds a touch of color here, a sprinkle of glitter there, and voila! Each craft is a unique creation. Doodle is also known for his comic antics that make every art session as fun as a roller coaster ride. He might accidentally dip his tail in the paint and end up creating an abstract art piece on the floor, or maybe he'll glue googly eyes on his beret without realizing. Oh, the laughter and the fun these New York kids have with Doodle! They play, they paint, they explore, and their imaginations run wilder than a New York minute. Their artwork is as vibrant and diverse as the state they live in - a splatter of colors and a splash of joy.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment.

We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry.
