In the magical land of Wisconsin, known fondly as the Dairyland of the USA, where the cows play hide and seek in the cornfields and the cheese is as yellow as the sunny sky, exists a group of extraordinarily creative kids. The state is rich with scenic beauty, filled with forests that seem straight out of fairy tales, mysterious caves, and enough lakes to fill a dragon's treasure vault. Now, let's introduce our hero - a cool, funny, and wild-haired imaginary character named Doodle-Winks. Doodle-Winks, who wears rainbow socks and a cheese-hat, has an extraordinary power to bring any piece of art to life. This is a good thing, especially when you’re in charge of leading Wisconsin’s amazing Art & Crafts troop! This troop, full of lively, crafty, and giggly kids, love to stir up enchanting creations. They are wizards with paint, sorcerers of paper mache, and champions in bead-weaving. They can turn a blob of clay into a regal-looking cheese, a pile of yarn into a cuddly cow, or a blank canvas into a scenic masterpiece that would make even the trees blush with pride. Their imagination is as wild as Doodle-Winks's hair and their laughter as infectious as his jokes. So, buckle up your creativity boots, put on your cheese-hats, and join Doodle-Winks and the vibrant kids in Wisconsin as they embark on a joyous journey of Art & Crafts, turning ordinary things into extraordinary masterpieces, and proving that in Wisconsin, dairy isn't the only thing they're great at creating!

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. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. 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. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
