★★★★★Jewel DusilAwesome environment and services. Had my daughter’s birthday party here and the team made it so easy from start to finish. Also my go to spot for art supplies (I’m partial to the coloring books).
★★★★★Leah CookMy kids attend a preschool art class weekly and our family enjoys attending the many family events held here. We absolutely love it! We are constantly amazed at how much thought and fun goes into everything they do! I cannot recommend this place enough!
★★★★★Krista Markert ReedWe love everyone and everything at First City Creatives (shout out to Kit Kat). My 6-year old son has done art camp for the last two summers and he has loved it! It’s amazing to send your kid somewhere and know they’re well cared for and having a blast. We’ve been to several birthday parties here and Cari and her team do a wonderful job. Find a reason to spend time here and you won’t regret it!
★★★★★Diana EshelmanMy kids and I absolutely love this place. We've tried different classes and events, and none have ever disappointed. We're constantly impressed with the depth of creativity, variety, and kindness that comes out of Cari and her crew at First City Creatives. We've been regulars at toddler time and love to pop in for Caturdays, open studio, and other community events that start here. We've just finished a week of Art Camp, and it was better than we'd expected (and expectations were already high). We're moving this summer, and this place is one reason we're sad to go. I doubt there's another space quite like this at our next duty station. I would 100% recommend First City Creatives to everyone.
★★★★★Haley ShawFull disclosure that I am an instructor at the studio. However, I teach there because Cari has created an incredible service for the Leavenworth and Northland area. I also have a preschool age son who takes classes. This is hands down the best opportunity I have encountered in our area to connect with simple and creative activities that are affordable and brilliantly fun. I highly recommend as an artist, a military mom and a member of the Leavenworth community.
