Hands-down one of the best kids program in Long Island city. We sent our two boys (6yrs old and 4yrs old) here for their weekly summer camp. Our boys came home after the first day begging for us to sign them up for a second week.
The teachers did an amazing job encouraging and fostering our kids’ imaginations and creativity. The boys always came home excited to show me what they had made and the story behind their creations.
At the end of the week, they put on an art show and invited all the parents. This was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. My kids were SO excited to have their pieces of art on display and to have my husband and I walk around to look at it all.

Read moreArt Strong is hands down one of the best Art & Sensory locations for toddlers & children in NYC, we’re so happy and lucky they decided to run out of Long Island City.

Grateful for the wonderful classes...
Read moreMy 4 (almost 5) year old son participated in a 3 day summer art camp with Art Strong and loved it! I had to pull him away from his sketch book at pick up! They created a number of different projects over the three days including papier mache, canvas collages, block printing, clay sculptures, and a giant Pollock inspired splattered sheet. My son was definitely engaged the entire time he was there and was excited to go back each day. The teachers also provided useful, regular updates with photos for each day and provided good feedback at drop off and pick up. I loved that it was in Plaxall Gallery as well. I would definitely recommend Art Strong to all parents in the neighborhood and am looking forward to enrolling my son in their...
