  • A Rosie Day is a Family Art Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a creative home for makers of every age! While we're best known for our children's programming, our heart is in bringing whole families together through art. Here's everything we offer:

    Afterschool Programs
    Our weekly afterschool classes are designed by age, from our littlest artists in Art Lab (ages 3 to 5) to our more independent makers in Art Lab (ages 6 to 9) and Atelier Art Club (ages 9 to 12). With school pickup available from local schools, process-based projects, and our kiln for clay and ceramics, it's a joyful, creative end to the school day…especially among friends!

    Summer Camp
    Our themed summer camp runs all season long for ages 4 to 11, with a new adventure each week, from painting and sculpture to clay, collage, outdoor play, and special trips to local parks. Beautiful messes guaranteed!

    Holiday Camp
    When NYC public schools are closed for breaks and holidays, we're open and ready to create! Our Holiday Camp keeps kids inspired and engaged on those days off, aligned with the DOE calendar.

    Birthday Parties

We're so excited to be launching adult programming and workshops, giving a chance for grown-ups to slow down, get their hands messy, and rediscover the joy of making. Whether you're a seasoned artist or picking up a brush for the first time, there will be a seat at the table for you and you don’t have to make dinner or do bedtime! <3

  • There are lots of wonderful places for kids to make art, but here's what makes A Rosie Day truly special:

    We're a Family Art Studio, not just a kids' class.
    Our heart is in bringing whole families together through creativity. From our littlest artists to our grown-ups, we believe art belongs to everyone. When you join us, you're joining a community, not just signing up for a class. You’re Familia!

    Process over perfection, always.
    We're not here to send home a craft that looks exactly like the kid's next to them. We focus on exploration, experimentation, and self-expression, helping children build real confidence, independence, and a creative voice that's all their own.

    Led by real, working artists.
    Our teaching artists are passionate, practicing makers who bring genuine skill, mentorship, and inspiration to every session. They pour real care into knowing each child, nurturing their ideas, and helping them grow, and we're endlessly grateful for the dedication and love they bring to our studio every day.

    A real kiln and elevated mediums.
    Our studio is a true working art lab. With our kiln running for clay and ceramics, plus mediums like printmaking, sculpture, embroidery, and mixed media, kids get to dig into real, ambitious work and take home finished pieces they're proud of.

    We listen, we adapt, we show up.
    We built our programming around what families actually need, from flexible pickup windows for working parents to free school pickup and snack cubbies for our recurring kids. When our families tell us something, we listen. That's the A Rosie Day difference.

    A space that feels like home.
    Above all, we're warm. We're a cozy, joyful, safe place in the heart of Williamsburg where kids feel seen, supported, and free to create. Beautiful messes and magical memories, every single day.

  • Yes, we do! School pickup is one of the ways we make life a little easier for our busy families. Our team walks your child safely from their school right to the studio, so their afternoon flows seamlessly from classroom to art table.

    We currently offer pickup from:

    • PS 84

    • CE Montessori

    • Brooklyn Arbor

    And here's some wonderful news: for our afterschool families, school pickup from PS 84 and CE Montessori is included at no extra charge! We wanted to make our programs as easy and accessible as possible.

    Don't see your school listed? Reach out! We're always happy to add new pickup locations. We just need at least three children enrolled from the same school to offer pickup there, so grab a few friends and let us know, we'll do our best to make it happen! If you are a parents who can walk over a group of students, you will receive a discount on your child’s programming!

    Have questions about pickup timing or how it works for your child's program? Just ask, we're always glad to help you sort out the details.

  • Come ready to make beautiful messes! We use real materials like paint, clay, glaze, and glue, so a little mess is all part of the magic. Here's how to set you and your child up for a happy, creative day:

    What to wear:

    • Comfy, mess-friendly clothes you don't mind getting a little (or a lot!) of paint on. We promise it's a sign of a good day at the studio!

    • Closed-toe shoes that are ready for playground time and outdoor adventures.

    What to pack for after-school programs:

    • An extra set of clothes (including socks!), labeled with your child's name, in case they need a quick change after a particularly messy masterpiece.

    • A labeled snack, kept nut, peanut, sesame, and tree nut free to keep all our artists safe. (Recurring afterschool families, feel free to leave a stash in your child's studio cubby!)

    • A labeled, refillable water bottle to stay hydrated, we'll help with refills whenever they need one!

    A quick reminder: We are a nut, peanut, sesame, and tree nut free studio, and we do not provide snacks, so please be sure anything you pack follows our allergy policy.

    That's it! With comfy clothes, a snack, water, and a spare outfit, every artist will be all set to create, explore, and have the best time.

  • The safety of every child in our studio is our top priority. To protect our artists with allergies, A Rosie Day is a nut, peanut, sesame, and tree nut free studio. We kindly ask that all snacks sent from home are completely free of these ingredients.

    A few important things to know:

    • We do not provide snacks. Because of the range of allergies and dietary restrictions in our studio, all snacks must come from home and follow our allergy policy.

    • Please pack a labeled snack and water bottle for your child each day. For our recurring afterschool families, you're welcome to leave a stash of allergy-safe snacks in your child's studio cubby (we'll pop fruit in the fridge!), so there's no scramble if a day gets hectic.

    • Let us know about any allergies, dietary needs, or medical considerations when you register, so our team is fully prepared to care for your child.

    • If your child has an Epi-Pen, they must have it with them in the studio/in their backpack at all times. It must not be an expired medication. We do not administer any medications.

    We take these guidelines seriously because they keep every little artist safe, happy, and free to focus on what they came here to do: create! Thank you for helping us protect our whole studio community!

  • Program Commitment & Studio Policies at A Rosie Day

    We're thrilled to provide a fun, engaging, and safe space where every artist can thrive. Our warm and nurturing studio celebrates creativity in all its forms, welcoming everyone regardless of artistic ability. To ensure everyone has a wonderful experience, we've outlined our friendly studio policies below.

    Program Commitment & Cancellations

    We aim for a fair and flexible cancellation policy while recognizing the high demand for our programs and our limited class sizes.

    Single-Day Offerings (Drop-In Classes, Open Studio, Special Events): All sales are final for these offerings, and no refunds are available for cancellations.

    Full Semester Packages: When you register for a full semester, you're committing to the entire session. We meticulously plan each enriching session, and due to limited space and high demand, we often turn away eager students. A full refund is available only if you notify us at least two weeks before the session's start date. If you cancel less than two weeks prior to the start date, your payment becomes non-refundable and non-transferable, and the full amount will be applied to the total cost of the session.

    If your child misses a class due to illness or any other reason, please understand that the class fee is non-refundable, and we cannot guarantee a make-up class. While it's not required, we do appreciate a heads-up if your child won't be able to make it! Please also note that we are unable to accommodate individual travel schedules with personalized semesters, and we appreciate your understanding.

    Summer & Holiday Camp: Camps are refundable up to 14 days before the start of your camp week. Within 14 days, deposits and payments are non-refundable, as we've reserved your child's place and prepared materials and staffing. Please remember that campers must be at least four years old to attend, and if a child is registered who does not meet the age requirement, we're unable to offer a refund.

    Studio Policies

    Behavior & Expectations: The safety and happiness of every person, as well as the care of our creative space, are paramount. We have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone exhibiting physical harm to peers or instructors, or intentionally damaging our property. Should such an incident occur for a child, we will contact parents immediately, and the child must be picked up from the program without delay. Please understand that if a child is removed from the program due to a policy violation, no refund will be offered. To keep everyone focused on creativity, cell phone and smart watch use is not permitted during class time.

    Art Project Pick-Up: We know how much effort goes into each masterpiece! Please ensure all art projects are picked up by the last day of the semester. We can hold projects for up to one week after the last day of class.

    Liability Waiver: By registering for any of our programming, including hosted events, you agree to release A Rosie Day from any and all liability, claims, damages, or harm that might arise from your child's participation in our studio.

    A Note from Us
    As a small, woman/mother-run studio, every spot truly matters. When a space goes unfilled last-minute, we often have a waitlisted family who missed out. These policies help us care for our team, plan thoughtfully, and keep our programs running smoothly for everyone. We so appreciate your understanding and support!

  • We sure do, and they're so much fun! 🎉 A Rosie Day birthday parties are a joyful, art-filled way to celebrate your child's special day. Your little one and their friends will create, play, and make their own masterpieces to take home, all in our warm, welcoming studio.

    We handle the creative magic and the cleanup (yes, really!), so you get to relax and enjoy the celebration. Each party is led by our wonderful teaching artists and designed to keep every guest happily making and smiling.
