“Art education is really a wonderful space to spend time in. Working with this studio, I’ve gotten to explore artistic expression, skill-building, and creation with kids and adults alike in classroom and event settings — and it is so fulfilling! Kebby has an extensive arts and education background that really shows in the quality of the curriculum that we teach from - it is super dynamic, fun, varied, and the kids love it (which makes our job as teachers and guides so much easier!). This studio really offers something special to the community and it is amazing to get to be a part of that as an employee!” current employee, Emma
"At Do Art Studio, I excelled as an art teacher, gaining extensive and valuable teaching experience with children. Kebby's broad and inclusive curriculum set me up for success, and I was given the freedom to take the lead in creating lesson plans for both classes and summer camp. Her efforts to communicate and mentor me throughout the course were greatly appreciated and helped me become the confident and assertive teacher I am today." current employee, Frances
“Studio for Art is a great place to explore art with children in a fun, creative, and open space. Kebby supports each teacher in their own strengths and backgrounds. It is a collaborative environment and I have enjoyed being able to have the space to adjust the lesson plans to each new class. This is a great community and a great place to work!” current employee, Stephanie
