About

Art Experimentos are bilingual workshops with a focus in process-driven art, building fine motor skills, while promoting creative thinking and discovery. 

These collaborative workshops started in 2018 in the kitchen of our apartment in Ridgewood, Queens. Artists, friends and neighbors met for 1 hour, together we created work with our kids. As the group grew older, the program developed as classes with a contemporary art focus, and a special interest for discovering work by Female-identifying artists.
