Why Choose Our Events?

Choose our Events for Kids, Youth Programs & Schools when you want more than just an activity—you want an opportunity for every child to discover and share their unique creative voice.

Our instructor-led workshops put art expression at the heart of learning, using guided drawing, collaborative murals, and STEAM challenges to help students translate ideas into vivid visuals.

By tailoring each session to your group’s interests—whether it’s earning scout badges, practicing gymnastics balance through paint, or illustrating classroom stories—we create a safe, supportive space where imagination thrives, teamwork flourishes, and confidence grows with every brushstroke.

  • Perfect for Every Venue: Tailored to after-school programs, sports centers, community camps, scouts meetings, and classrooms alike.

  • Standards & Badge Alignment: Projects map to academic standards and scout badge requirements—science, history, art, and service themes.

  • Turnkey Logistics: We handle all art supplies, setup, instruction, and cleanup—so your staff can focus on facilitation, not hauling paint.

  • Engaging, Expert Instructors: Our teaching artists are background-checked and trained to lead groups of 5–150 children, adapting on the fly.

  • Inclusive & Adaptive: Activities scale by age and ability, with sensory-friendly options and adaptive tools (large-grip brushes, seated stations).

  • Memorable Take-Homes: Every child leaves with a personalized art piece—be it a mini badge booklet, decorated frame, or hand-printed banner.

About Us

Michelle Can't Spell

A traveling Artist based out of Kennesaw, Georgia, that helps people of all ages express themselves through art—especially when words are hard to find.

Whether you're a kid, teen, adult, or elder, we believe that making art isn’t about being perfect. It’s about connection.

Through paint, color, music, and self-expression, we help break down limiting beliefs and replace them with creativity, confidence, and connection.

Because when we share what’s inside us, it doesn’t make us different.

It reminds us how much we all have in common.

    Activities Include:

    Activities Include:

    • Giant Canvas Relay: Teams race to add segments to a large canvas—each leg guided by a prompt card (e.g., “Paint a shape that represents kindness”).

    • Art Scavenger Hunts: Participants hunt for texture materials or prompt cards hidden around the room, then illustrate their finds in a collective collage.

    • Draw-and-Dash Story Dice: Roll custom story dice, sprint to a sketch station, draw the prompt in 60 seconds, then rotate.

    • Movement-Prompt Fusion: Combine simple yoga or calisthenic moves (e.g., “touch your toes”) with art actions (“now draw a wave”) to energize bodies and minds.

Benefits

Our mobile art events unlock the power of creative expression, giving every child a voice through color, shape, and storytelling. By guiding kids through hands-on projects—from collaborative murals to STEAM art challenges—we help them discover new ways to express emotions and ideas. As they share brushes, swap stories about their creations, and celebrate each other’s unique styles, they build empathy, teamwork, and lasting friendships. In this supportive, screen-free environment, art becomes a bridge that connects young minds and nurtures confidence in both individual creativity and collective collaboration.
