Hire the Truck

Our creative and experiential visual art projects are perfect for corporate and neighborhood picnics, community gatherings, family nights at neighborhood centers or schools and even visiting classrooms! The Truck Studio vans are stocked with art supplies, staffed by professional teaching artists and art interns and ready to bring creative visual art experiences to children and families in our community.

Truck Studio Artists guide children through short art projects that focus on creativity, exploring imagination, learning about artists and art forms of diverse cultures and experiencing and understanding elements, principles and techniques of visual art. Children can create and take home their artwork in one session or over several sessions, depending on the needs of your organization or school.

The Truck Studio fee for non-profits is $165 per hour for two hours or more or $200.00 for one hour. The fee for for-profits and individuals is $240 per hour (a portion of which, $66.75, is tax deductible).
