Children can reveal an artistic temperament at a young age by spattering ice cream on white tablecloths and denying that a pacifier is a pacifier. Encourage an early brush with greatness with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $33 for two 90-minute children’s art workshops ($60 value)
Age-stratified workshops, open to kids aged 3 and older, can teach techniques for realistically drawing animals, sculpting a bust from a globe and polymer clay, or creating an abstract painting of artful drips and splatters. For a full list of upcoming workshops, see the schedule. New workshop dates are added to the schedule each week. 4Cats Arts Studio encourages clients to check frequently for schedule updates as classes fill up quickly.
4Cats Arts Studio
4Cats Arts Studio shares a name with an iconic Barcelona café—Els Quartre Gats. Its European doppelganger was a favourite haunt of Picasso, who would lounge there with friends and colleagues, discussing art. A similarly vibrant artistic community—although for a younger set—thrives at 4Cats, a studio specializing in art classes for kids aged 2–15. In sessions stratified by age, youngsters can sculpt with professional potters’ tools, master advanced drawing techniques, or create mixed-media masterpieces. Alternatively, they can learn about the legacies of artists such as Monet, Matisse, and Marc Chagall, a painter who depicted happy people as floating through the air, rather than just covered in smiling mouths. The studio complements its kids’ courses with one-off workshops, spring-break sessions, and occasional adult classes.
