A Chicago children's art studio with Bucktown and Ravenswood locations running mixed-age summer day camps for ages 5-11. Each day centers on a theme and moves across painting, drawing and sculpture, with dedicated creative time, a reading space and free play; campers also visit neighborhood parks, make art outdoors and have water play in the studio's backyard. Camp begins at 9am with drop-off from 8:45am; the studio is nut-free and families pack lunch.

★★★★★Ashley OrtizWe LOVE Easel Art! My daughters have been attending for years, and it is easily the most creative art studio in Chicago. The workshop and camp themes are always so thoughtful and imaginative. But my favorite part is the staff—they welcome my kids with open arms every single time. I always walk away knowing they’re in the best hands
★★Edit StreamStaff is FANTASTIC! However, low stars due to the owner Kerry is very difficult to deal with. Attitude for days.
★★★★★Ted CunneenI can’t say enough good things about Easel Art Chicago. Our son started taking art lessons here 3.5 years ago with Miss Jess, and it’s been an incredible experience from day one. The curriculum is truly top-tier. Even at the toddler level, kids are immersed in a wide variety of mediums—pastels, papier-mâché, watercolors, and more. The projects they create are stunning! The creativity and thought that Jess and Kerry put into every lesson is unmatched. It’s hands-down the best art program for kids in Chicago. Our son attends weekly classes and it’s always a highlight of his week. Last year, he was old enough to attend Summer Camp, and it became a highlight of his entire summer. The program is fun, educational, and empowering. Miss Jess has become more than just an instructor—she’s been a mentor to our son and a true friend to our family. We’re incredibly thankful for the entire Easel Art team and all the love and creativity they pour into their work. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow as an artist while being nurtured by amazing teachers, Easel Art is it. Thank you for everything you do!
★★★★★Noam AvidovWonderful place- my 6 y/o goes to the art class there a loved it. We also celebrated her birthday here and it was beautiful and fun (and zero effort for the parents). Ms. Jess is wonderful.
★★★★★Hannah DouglasI cannot say enough good things about this place. I called them with a wild idea of doing balloon dart painting (yes like princess diaries) for a bachelorette party. They were SO nice and accommodating and let us basically take over the studio and offered us supplies. The owner was SO nice. I highly suggest taking your crazy fun ideas to them! ..I mean who else would let you throw darts at paint filled balloons just to make a mess and fun memories? 😋
