Studio 4 Art
In creating her Studio 4 Art spaces in Novato and Tam Junction, Kebby McInroy drew inspiration from within, watching the experiences of her two older children while they were at Tam Valley school and hoping they’d “experience authentic art making.” McInroy, who has a BA in painting from Sonoma State with an emphasis on child psychology and early childhood education, sought to create a program that went deeper than the art itself. “Ultimately, our studio isn’t about creating artists, it’s about creating leaders. We want to empower young people to gain tools that will help them accomplish their goals throughout life,”she says. McInroy’s space within the aforementioned collective of businesses around Proof Lab is a hub of creativity for children ages 2-7. She also offers programs through MV Recreation’s enrichment program within the Mill Valley School District, as well as family workshops, drop-in studio time, “pARTies” and yearly camps for kids ages 3-12. studio4art.net
