Hi - Artsy Coach Maria here!
I've been hosting painting parties part-time for 14 years. Initially, I focused on Moms-Night-Out events as a fun escape from my kids. But one day, I was asked to do a fundraiser for my kids' school. I had no idea what I was doing, but I winged it!
It turns out school fundraisers are fantastic. The kids loved it, and the moms started booking me for their children's birthday parties and Moms-Night-Out events. It turned out to be the best marketing strategy!
As demand grew, schools started asking for more art enrichment programs. We developed art projects that could be brought into classrooms for after-school clubs. No need to be a professional artist—it's all about providing a fun, creative activity. We guide the kids through the same paintings we use at our painting parties. Our favorite saying is, "Fun Art, not Fine Art!"Check out our Artsy Manifesto here.
Create in the Classroom has many benefits:
Repeat loyal customers
Monthly revenue
If you get into multiple schools, you can paint the same painting each month!
Paint parties during daytime hours
If you have kids, they can join you
We recommend donating 10% back to the school's art program or PTO
When you partner with schools, you'll find yourself getting more business opportunities:
Staff parties
In-school field trips
Using a paint party as a fundraiser prize (the top sellers get to attend a private paint party)
Art parties are educational and fun!
Before/after-school clubs start hiring you for summer events and activities

Why create everything on your own when we have created it for you?
Can't get into your local schools? You can use this same curriculum to build your own business at a local community center, coffee shop, yogurt shop, or even your garage! Who says you can't create a makeshift art studio?
Let's talk about the money! We all need full-time pay for part-time work. Here's the artsy math:
Minimum 20 students x $18 per month = $360, less expenses, supplies, and snacks - approx $260.
Double that to 40 kids, and you're taking home over $500 for one class of 2-3 hours after school.
Do 3-4 schools a month? That's $2000 for doing the same painting each month.
Our program is not guaranteed, as every city is different, but art is for everyone, and we can help you start your artsy business!
CITC is just one extra tool we provide to our members. We offer so much more. Enrollment is open now! Learn more then join us.
