What is Art Explorers Club?
What is Art Explorers Club?
Art Explorers Club is a creative learning experience for kids.
We offer play-based art classes inspired by the world’s most imaginative 20th-century artists—like Matisse, Basquiat, and Kusama—designed to help children build confidence, express their ideas, and explore who they are through making.
Each week, we use storytelling, movement, and hands-on materials to turn big ideas into magical, meaningful art. It’s not about copying masterpieces. It’s about helping nurture lifelong visionary creativity within your child.
About the Founder
About the Founder
Hi, I’m Paul Schaffenberger—founder of Art Explorers Club, Greenpoint resident, dad to a wildly creative 5-year-old, and a lifelong believer in the power of art to help kids develop their true potential.
After 15 years working in the New York City art world—handling masterpieces, curating shows, and learning from some of the most influential artists of our time—I started Art Explorers Club to share what I love most: the magic of creativity, curiosity, and self-expression.
Each class is designed to invite kids into the joy of making—without pressure, minimal rules, and plenty of room to explore who they are.
