Buy a KidzArt Franchise

KidzArt is a creative arts education franchise that delivers structured, curriculum-based programs for students from age two through adults and seniors. The brand has offered art instruction focused on creativity and confidence building since 1990, and has supported franchises since 2002. Operating on a home-based, mobile model, franchisees hold classes at third-party venues including schools, churches, community centers, and daycare facilities, with no dedicated studio required.

The franchise covers 12 income streams: after-school classes, day and weekly camps, birthday parties, in-school field trips, core school art programs, homeschool sessions, adult workshops, corporate team-building, and the Palette Up! adult paint-and-sip concept, included in the franchise purchase price. Branded program lines include KidzArt™, Squiggles to Grins™, TeenzArt™, SeniorzArt™, and Art Innovators™, serving a wide range of age groups and settings.

Headquartered in Michigan, KidzArt provides protected territories and an online registration and business management system. Franchisees recruit and manage local instructors who deliver classes across the territory.

Why buy a KidzArt Franchise?

KidzArt offers a low-overhead entry into children’s arts education, with a flexible operational model that avoids commercial lease obligations. With 12 defined income streams under a single franchise agreement, franchisees can develop revenue across school-year classes, seasonal camps, birthday party bookings, and adult events. The Palette Up! paint-and-sip concept adds a recurring adult audience largely separate from the school-age customer base.

The multi-segment program suite, covering ages two through seniors, means franchisees are not dependent on a single demographic. Branded lines each serve distinct markets and scheduling windows for a more active class calendar year-round. Alongside the proprietary curriculum, Franchisees benefit from comprehensive training, ongoing support, and a strong brand legacy.

KidzArt – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    KidzArt provides four full days of training at its Michigan headquarters covering business tools, art instruction, and marketing, followed by 6 to 8 weeks of tailored coaching calls. Ongoing support includes on-demand webinar training, unlimited telephone support, an on-staff curriculum specialist, and access to the Business Center intranet with archived training videos and marketing collateral. Franchisees also benefit from an online registration and business management system and bulk purchasing discounts on art supplies. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and Business Center access transfers with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits someone comfortable managing a small team of part-time instructors and building relationships with local schools, community centers, and parents. No art or teaching background is required; the operational focus is on business development, class scheduling, and community outreach rather than personally delivering instruction. KidzArt franchisees tend to be community-oriented operators who enjoy family-friendly environments and are motivated by building local presence. Local marketing, event coordination, and ongoing instructor recruitment are practical priorities for this role.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    KidzArt's franchise system was recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine, ranking #50 on the Top New Franchise list in 2007, and received "World-Class Franchise" status from the Franchise Research Institute in 2006 and 2007. While the brand does not prominently feature more recent formal industry rankings, the longevity of its franchise system and consistent franchisee testimonials reflect stable performance in the children's arts education sector. Resale buyers should weigh brand-level recognition against the reputation of the specific unit, including community standing, school and venue partnerships, and local review history.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US after-school program providers market is estimated at approximately $21 billion in annual revenue (IBISWorld, 2025). Arts enrichment programs within that market benefit from sustained parental interest in creativity and child development as a complement to academic schooling. KidzArt's programs span ages two through seniors and include adult and corporate formats, broadening the target audience beyond school-age children. Resale buyers should assess local class enrollment trends, school and community venue relationships, and the territory's demographic profile.
