The Fort Studios
No two children are the same, and at The Fort Studios they know that means no two artworks should ever be the same. Under the watchful eye of expert instructors who are practicing artists with a degree or Masters certification in fine arts, children ages 6 to 14 are challenged to think, talk and create as artists do in the Fort Studios’ art classes for kids.

We love the open-studio approach that encourages kids to be responsible for their own learning while allowing their artistic voices to be respected, valued and honoured. These art classes for kids furnish students with artworks that meet the requirements for future portfolios at local art schools such as SOTA, and art elective programmes (AEP) in local secondary schools.
