The Art House of NYC began as a spark of inspiration rooted in one family’s tradition of love, creativity, and community. Our founder, Alex, was first introduced to art by his grandfather, a kind and imaginative man who used painting and music as a way to bring the family together and give back to the neighborhood. Inspired by those early moments — sitting on the floor with crayons, listening to his grandfather play accordion, or watching him teach local kids in the living room — Alex grew up with a deep belief that art is more than just talent: it’s connection, healing, and joy.
Alex’s parents, both educators, passed down a legacy of kindness and a sense of responsibility to the community. As a teen, he started volunteering in after-school programs, leading his very first drawing class for a shy six-year-old who lit up with confidence the moment she saw her artwork displayed. That memory — of how creativity empowered a child — stayed with him forever.
Today, The Art House of NYC proudly brings that same magic into homes and communities across the city. Our mission is to deliver engaging, skill-building, and joyful sessions in art, music, movement, and life skills.
Whether you are discovering a new passion or continuing a lifelong hobby, we welcome you with warmth, encouragement, and creativity.
