Certified & experienced art educator, Caroline greets all participants with a smile and warm welcome! Caroline has worked with artists ages 1-104 and thoughtfully designs The Art Cart so all visitors can have creative time to unwind, grow, & express themselves. Caroline believes that all people can benefit from time spent being creative and that anyone can be an artist.
Art Cart participants share art supplies, making it resourceful. Plus, The Art Cart operates within businesses that are already open, lowering its carbon footprint. Less material waste and lower energy use makes this a green way to get artsy!
With projects ranging $5-15 we offer consistent pricing to reach people of different backgrounds. Whether you have a big family and want everyone to be able to participate, are a kiddo saving up your allowance for something fun, or a college student looking for a low-cost study break…we are here for you! We believe creative activities shouldn’t have to be high-cost in order to be meaningful or to create a beautiful work of art.
