KC Art Van Gogh Live!

Kids build the show.

Invent your own web show, then make everything it needs: the logo, the set, giant props, a sculpture that moves and a stop-motion intro. Hands-on art classes for ages 8 to 16 at our studio in Raytown, Missouri.

For parentsThe practical part

  • Small groups. Most classes seat 10 to 14 students, grouped by age. Each class lists its own ages.
  • Everything is included. Students bring paint clothes and closed-toe shoes; a few classes ask for a phone or tablet, and say so.
  • Real tools, careful rules. Students use low-temperature glue guns. Heat guns and drills are staff-only, and safety glasses go on at the build tables.
  • Same booking as every class. You book and pay on kcvangogh.com and get the same ticket and confirmation email as any of our classes.
  • Families are part of the show. The Family Prop Challenge is built for parents and kids together, and Premiere Night is free for club families.
