Art Classes

For Kids

Ages 3-13

Empowering kids to shine through art

Got a creative child at home? You've probably seen how they get totally lost in art,

like the world around them disappears!

It's their special zone where they can soothe themselves, process emotions,

and learn to problem-solve.

Whether you have a three-year-old who loves the joy of messy finger paint, a 7-year-old who finds painting and sculpting relaxing, or a young teen with a true love for art,

our studio is the place for you.

Here, your child can express herself in a creative environment, leaving the mess in the studio and taking home remarkable works of art that reflect her personality and her new discoveries.

Welcome to

Ilana Visotsky Art Studio

Join our weekly classes that are designed to be a delightful experience for your little ones.

We believe in fostering a nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, imagination, and the freedom to create without limitations.

Our studio is a haven for young artists to embrace the process, celebrate self-expression, and embark on an exciting journey of discovery.

Why Families Love Our Studio

“We love doing art with Ilana! The classes are fun, intelligent and designed to encourage creativity. Super chill, no pressure to "succeed", just enjoy the process. My daughter started going at three, and it is her favourite part of the week!”

— Anna V.

“My daughter Vivian has been attending art class with Ms. Ilana for a few years now and she absolutely loves it!!! Ilana is so creative and in-tune with what children need to learn and thrive in a creative space. It is a different perspective than what is offered in school which is more restrictive. She is thoughtful, kind and each lesson has a purpose and meaning. The projects are fun, topical and age appropriate. Highly recommend!!”

— Diana A.

“This place deserves 10 stars! My children are so happy every time they go. Ilana and her team are fantastic, creative and supportive. My kids love going so much that we hosted a birthday party at the studio. All the kids (and parents) were thrilled with the party! It was such a sweet and joyful day. Ilana is a pleasure to work with, the prices are reasonable and the entire process was easy. Thank you for everything, Ilana!”

— Mollie M.

“My daughter aspires to pursue a few of her passions when she grows up, and one of them, is to be just like Ms Ilana (a mom, an artist, and a teacher). We love the warm, welcoming, and creative space Ms. Ilana and her assistants foster for her students.”

— Court G.

“I can't say enough good things about this super cozy art studio! My 8 year old absolutely loves going to her art class each week! The vibe here is wonderful, Ilana and her staff are awesome! I'm always excited to see what they create next!”

— Melissa D.

“My 6 year old loves Ilana's studio, and I do too! As a family with an art background some of the projects generally put in front of kids are so 'paint by numbers', do this, make it look like this at the end. Ilana is different! she inspires the kids with creative prompts - showing them art from the greats, and provides ideas which allow the kids to enjoy the process without constraint. The final results are great. I'm currently buying frames to show off some of the pieces from my son's time in the class.”

— Elizabeth K.

About Ilana

Hey there,

I am Ilana. Love brought me to America a decade ago, and it’s been an adventure ever since.

 

Originally from Israel, I landed in the vibrant city of NYC, surrounded by art that truly inspired my soul. Pursuing my art degree at the School of Visual Arts was a big achievement, and I cherished every moment of exploring the streets of Manhattan, visiting art museums, and savoring delicious food.

 

After a wonderful time in NYC, Sam and I made the decision to move to the suburbs of New Jersey. Here, life took on a new and fulfilling chapter. Here, I could create a beautiful family unit and be surrounded by nature's beauty. Instead of skyscrapers, we have lush greenery, and my kids have all the space to run and play freely.

Ever since I was young, I knew I'd open an art studio to share my love and knowledge of art with others. When COVID hit, I found this space and turned it into my art spot. Soon enough, it became a favorite hangout for my family. My kids and their friends built cardboard houses, collaborated on giant artworks, and let their imaginations soar. Those creative times were truly special.

As COVID brought challenges, running classes became more complex, but I saw art as a necessary activity, especially for kids during times of isolation and uncertainty. Witnessing their excitement to return to the studio where they could unleash their creativity was heartwarming.

Now, my studio runs multiple art classes for kids ages 3-13, and it's a dream come true for me. Being part of these young artists' creative journey fills me with immense joy and gratitude.

I love working with kids and creating beautiful memories together. I look forward to meeting your kids and being a part of their creative journey!

Let's explore the world of art and imagination together, and make unforgettable moments along the way!
