NPC KIDS
A joyful, structured journey through drawing, painting and art fundamentals — plus hands-on making and 3D printing & modeling.
Where making art is the best part of the week 🎉
Small classes, real materials, something finished to take home every term — and a lot more than just drawing.

Why families choose NPC
Most studios teach a craft class. We teach a path — one that can run from age five all the way to an art-school offer.
A path, not a one-off class
Your child can start at age 5 and stay with the same school through teen classes, AP and a university portfolio. Nothing gets restarted at a new studio.
6:1 classes, taught by working artists
Small groups with instructors who have worked at studios like Disney, Netflix, Pixar and Apple — not a room of thirty kids with a worksheet.
More than drawing and painting
Art fundamentals plus the things other studios do not offer: real materials, hands-on making, and 3D printing & modelling.
Four campuses, 20+ years
Kerrisdale, Richmond, South Surrey and West Vancouver — with 3000+ graduates behind us. Pick the campus that fits your week.
