We tried this place out for the first time today and we were blown away with how welcoming, inviting, and fun our class was! Little guy is almost 2 and isn’t the biggest fan of structured classes so this was a perfect mix of a scheduled class, but also open and creative play. There are various stations set up in the space and kiddos are invited to do whatever they want. We played with water, crafts, homemade Play-Doh, paint, spray bottles, chalk, etc. This was a fun way to get out of our norm and socialize, but also get messy with our play without the clean up haha we will be back!!

We ❤️ ARTplay! Jarah and all the teachers are amazing! My kids have attended classes and camps (plus birthday celebrations) here for years! This is hands down the best experience in Lexington to engage your kids in a safe, fun, super child-led creative art experience. Plus there are fun take home craft kits. We are so lucky to have ARTplay in Lexington!

Both of my children have loved ArtPlay since they were 15 months and now are 4.5 & 5.5. They love the free play aspect. They are completely different children and it speaks to both of them. One is more sensory based and it’s the only place he gets the calm atmosphere he strives for and the other is more product based. Being in that class has carried over to our home life the children are constantly wanting to recreate an activity we did there. ArtPlay introduced our children to art in a way of exploration and imagination. We continue to go weekly throughout the year. They also have helped with so many birthday gifts with creative bags of art to create. Can’t say enough about Jarah or her place we are fortunate to have ArtPlay in our community!

I have two kids who have grown up with ARTPlay from the time they were one. I have loved so much getting to watch them learn and explore their interests through art, nature, sensory play, and pretend play in a welcoming “yes space”. My kids have adored every teacher we have encountered. We have made several like-minded friends from our classes. It has been a joy for our entire family. We have also held two birthday parties there and I can not express enough how easy they both were for my husband and I, not to mention fun for the kids! Most importantly, the owner, Jarah, truly and deeply cares for each individual students’ needs. She also has a genuine love for the Lexington community. She has made ARTPlay into a place that teaches young children how important the connection between art and community is, which is something that I think will make our city brighter as they grow up. There are lots of children’s art studios in this town, but none with the heart and soul of ARTPlay. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

My daughter has done classes, several art camps (winter break and summer) and had her “bestest birthday party ever” here yesterday. I can’t express what an awesome and magical place it is, especially for children who love to be creative. It’s her favorite place to go and the laid back atmosphere allows her to create, play and make a mess without worrying about it like at home. Jarah and the entire staff are amazing and share a passion to create magic in the lives of children. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.
