Our story
“As a child, a few teachers who changed my life showed me, through the visual arts, a world of shapes and colors running parallel to reality. That discovery led me to the Academy of Fine Arts, and it is why I created The Creative Canvas today: to serve others with that same passion, opening the door to a world of imagination and to tools for growth and communication.”Arien Guerra — Founder

How we work in every class
Classes designed around each child’s age, level, creativity and individual learning goals.
Listen first
Every child needs a space to create and feel heard. That is the starting point of every class.
Create with technique
Experience in a wide range of artistic techniques with a broad view of the visual arts.
Expression and self-regulation
Tools for expression and self-regulation that stay with the child beyond the canvas.
Where the child is
In-person classes in the comfort of home, in school settings or at daycares, with group programs planned for the future.
