About The Art Room: Founded by Leigh Jewel Holliday, The Art Room is a fine arts
school in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn which caters to children ages 3 and up. Their tagline is “For
Brooklyn’s Young at Art!” The Art Room was built on the belief that early exposure to art is
crucial to the growth of young minds and helping kids develop other skills which will
benefit them greatly later in life. Art is one of the most important means of self-expression
and confidence building—combining imagination, spontaneity, playfulness and
experimentation. Children who are encouraged to express themselves through art will find
their thoughts, feelings and imaginations broadened and enriched. Most importantly, art is
a lot of messy fun while also being educational, visceral and therapeutic. Classes at The Art
Room focus on all fundamentals of fine arts including drawing, painting, sculpture, and
mixed media.
Owner/Teacher Leigh Jewel Holliday was born and raised in Washington, DC. By the time
Leigh was 3, she had already fallen in love with art. After graduating with a Bachelor of
Fine Arts Degree from The Corcoran College of Art + Design, Leigh founded her first fine
arts school located in historic Georgetown. Years later, Leigh relocated to New York City
and decided to open up The Art Room in beautiful Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
