The Art Spark is a women-owned creative children’s classroom, opened in September of 2010 by Emily DiNardo and Jacquelyn Hoffman. Our first home was in the basement art room of Rockwern Academy in Montgomery. In 2016 we moved to a studio in Symmes Township where we spent seven and half wonderful years. As of September 2024 we moved back to Montgomery, right in the heart of beautiful downtown! We are now off Cooper Road, above Elizabeth Grace Home. Our studio offers children infinitely many ways to explore art. We also offer after school classes to school in need of an extracurricular art program throughout the city. As professional art educators, we know learning and art is beyond specific skills and tools. Our studio encourages students to ask questions, solve problems creatively, and utilize art materials to achieve unique solutions. Whether painting large scale murals, sculpting food and dishes from around the world, or deciding what it looks like inside of a rainbow, imagination is ignited for every child who has the opportunity to learn and grow at The Art Spark.
