If you're looking for a fun, creative birthday party for a kid, I recommend the Monart School of Art in Southside Place.We celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday here, and she and her friends loved it! We opted for the Art Station party: Four art tables with different art/crafts for each table. The best part is, before the party, the kid can select the art/craft activities for the party, as the school sends you a list of birthday activity possibilities. My kid opted for coloring sun catchers, fans, and wooden animals, plus making crowns. Each kid was given a bag with their name to collect all of their completed art.There were 2 rooms: The Art/Crafts room and the Party room. This created a good environment for the kids to focus on the art, and when they were done, they went to the Party room to eat and unwind. As far as the parents, we were left to have adult conversations while the teachers observed the kids. The teachers were very attentive and kind to check on each kid.Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommend to any party-planning parent.

My 5 year old child attended the Spring Break morning art camp and had so much fun. The theme was Avatar and although he didn’t know who the blue person was, it didn’t diminish the fun he had painting. Each day had a new art project which incorporated painting, coloring, and gluing.

Not sure how this place is still in business/made it through the pandemic but agreeing with the posts above that they make up their own rules as they wish. Bad to no business model at all. Offered a mouthwash rinse cup size of goldfish for "snack." Many other small businesses to support in the area. Sad this one is run so poorly. Bless their hearts.

My kids have been taking classes here for years and they love it. As a parent you can see not only their artistic quality evolve but also their confidence and creativity. Every week is a different project and there are so many modalities to choose from. My kids have loved computer animation, 3D printing, manga, and pottery in addition to the variety in the "general" art classes. The portfolios at the end of each course give a concrete sense of accomplishment and pride, in addition to the thoughtful comments provided by the instructors. My kids say the following:Leo--age 9: "their techniques are really neat and have helped me a lot over the years. They show interest into my and the other students' passion for art and take requests for new projects"Ramzy--age 8: "I think it's really great. The art styles are really fun. I especially like the computer stuff".Our family cannot recommend Monart highly enough!!

My son LOVES Monart Summer Camp! He looks forward to going every year. They have gone above and beyond to keep their doors open through this crazy time, and we will be forever grateful they have done so. Anna is wonderful with any questions that arise. It is an amazing place to cultivate their love of art! Thank you, Monart, for a fun and safe environment for our children!

The folks who run this place care about art and the quality of instruction. We first put our daughter in a summer fashion camp last year; and I expected they’d be sketching designs but probably no sewing. After a week long camp, my kid came home with TWO outfits, handmade jewelry and design sketches. She was able to safely help with sewing machine work; and the beads she shaped and painted herself made her extra proud of the necklace she created with them. The mosaic class, the sculpture class and everything else we’ve done has resulted in art items she is proud to use in the house and display to family and friends. This is a great place for learning about art and building self-esteem.

We have been going to Monart for the last two years and have had a great experience! The teachers really foster and grow the student's love of art. The owners and communicative and easy to work with. And my son truly loves his class. He is currently taking comic book creation and he loves it! It's his favorite night of the week. I would highly recommend Monart!

My daughter did their summer art camp on princesses and characters and she loved it! They did a great 3D castle and painted it as well as acrylics and watercolors.My daughter said her teacher was Ms. Moriah and she was really kind.

The owner Daisy showed my mother a skeleton gif and she screamed. Please take this into consideration.

We've been coming to Monart for more than 5 years now. My son is not an art person, and he still enjoyed the classes. My daughter has been a part of Monart' program since she was 3. She's 7 now and still loves it. My baby is in mommy-and-me class, and we both enjoy the class very much. The "art class day" is her favorite day of the week.The management is awesome. Ms. Daisy will make sure the teachers have a solid plan. She would also make herself available for parents, if there's anything that concerns you. Everything is very well organized. If there's a time conflict, they will try to work with you, provide you with options like makeup class, credit, etc. If you are uncertain your child would like the class or not, she will give you an opportunity to try out one class. Overall, they are very flexible and very willing to work with you.If there's enough demand for certain class, she would even consider adding a brand new class / bring back an old class.Monart is a good place for kids to develop interest and love for all kind of art (including painting, drawing, anime, graphic design, fashion design, pottery, digital art, etc). It has been a great joy for my children, and I'd recommend for anyone to try!
