ABOUT

Canvas for Kids is more than just an art class; it’s a platform for children to explore their imagination, develop confidence, and connect with others through creativity. Designed and led by Faith, the program provides a one-hour guided painting experience where participants create their own masterpieces while contributing to a collaborative community canvas.

Working with organizations like St. Louis County Libraries, Faith’s mission and vision is to make art accessible to all, empowering children (and adults) to find their voice through colors, brushes, and shared experiences.

Canvas for Kids is a non for profit company designed to empower the community in supporting children through art.
