Wondering how to spark your child’s creativity this fall?

If your child has shown interest in music or art, but you’re unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. Between packed schedules, digital distractions, and the fear of wasting time (and money) on something they might quit, it’s hard to find the right fit.

That’s why we created Thrive Creative Arts, a space where kids don’t just attend lessons… they create, explore, and truly love learning.

And now, we’re inviting you to see it for yourself at our upcoming Open House!

On Saturday, October 18, from 11 am –1 pm, your child (ages 4+) can:

  • 🎶 Try out instruments and join in fun music games
  • 📝 Get creative with a mini songwriting activity
  • 🎨 Jump into a hands-on art project they can take home
  • 🎉 Meet new friends, win prizes, and explore something new

While your child is discovering all the ways they can thrive, you’ll be able to:

  • 👋 Meet our friendly staff
  • 🏡 Tour the space
  • 🌟 Learn how our approach builds confidence and creativity through joyful learning

Why This Matters

When kids enjoy the learning process, everything changes. They want to show up. They want to improve. And they grow into confident, expressive young artists — without the battles over practice or burnout from rigid programs.

 

A Special Thank You For Attending

  • Everyone who comes to the Open House will receive an exclusive enrollment offer only available to attendees.
  • RSVP by October 15 and you’ll be entered to win a free Thrive T-shirt!

Spots are limited — RSVP Today and let your child experience what it feels like to love learning truly. 

We can’t wait to meet you. 💜
