Franchising Opportunity
Own a Little Picassos Art Studio
Create a joyful place where children can flourish through art while building a rewarding business with purpose, creativity, and heart.
With a proven business model, thoughtful training, and ongoing support, Little Picassos offers the opportunity to build a studio that brings beauty, creativity, and connection to your community.
Step inside a Little Picassos studio and you’ll discover a world of colour, curiosity, and creative possibility. Our studios are warm, inspiring spaces where children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and express themselves with confidence and joy.
Each studio offers a vibrant blend of term classes, school holiday workshops, birthday celebrations, community events, and programs for schools and early learning centres. From drawing and painting to clay, sculpture, collage, printmaking, and construction, every experience is designed to nurture imagination and artistic confidence.
There is something deeply rewarding about watching a child grow in confidence, discover their creative voice, and take pride in what they are capable of creating.
What makes Little Picassos unique?
Every Child Comes First
At the heart of Little Picassos is a genuine commitment to each child’s individual experience. That sense of care and personal connection is the foundation of our success—and one of the reasons families return year after year and enthusiastically share us with others.
If a child leaves our studio feeling proud, inspired, and excited by what they have created, we know we have achieved something meaningful.
Our programs are imaginative, thoughtfully developed, and designed to delight both children and parents. Rather than offering formulaic craft activities, we create rich artistic experiences that encourage curiosity, build confidence, and foster meaningful self-expression.
