Drawn2Imagine

When we opened the Drawn2Imagine doors in 2010, formerly known as Kids-n-Art, we dreamed about being a staple for art in the Reno community.

Thanksgiving Art Project at Home The time has arrived for giving thanks for everything we have in our lives. At Drawn2Imagine, we know what we are thankful for: the opportunity to bring art into the lives of children. They say that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your […]

Over the past decade and a half, the focus of education has shifted (and not TOWARD the arts).

In our last post we talked about our after school program. It is a program in which we pick your child up from school and treat them to engaging art classes. This program is very popular and the perfect compliment to it is our before school program in Reno. If your child goes to Roy […]
