Why partner with PLAYDAY
A real art studio, portable.
PLAYDAY has spent years building a methodology for teaching kids to make real art — not craft kits, not cookie-cutter projects. That methodology works just as well in your school cafeteria as it does in our studios.
Our partnerships are custom by default. Tell us who your kids are and what you're trying to create, and we build a program around it.
Ways we partner
In-school art enrichment
Weekly or monthly sessions with teaching artists at your school. We handle curriculum, materials, and cleanup — you just need a classroom.
After-school programs
PLAYDAY-led after-school art programs at your school site. Ideal for schools that want structured creative programming without building it themselves.
Field trips to PLAYDAY
Bring your class to one of our six NYC studios. Hands-on workshops in a real art space — a welcome change from the classroom.
Professional development
Workshops for teachers on integrating hands-on art and creative problem-solving into their own classrooms.
Community partners
Libraries, community centers, and youth nonprofits — we run programming in your space, tailored to the kids you serve.
Corporate family events
Family days, summer events, and holiday parties where art-making anchors the experience. Great for companies with a family-friendly culture.
How it works
01
A quick intro call
Tell us about your school or organization, the kids you serve, and what you're trying to create. We listen first.
02
Custom program design
We shape a program around your goals, age groups, schedule, and budget. Not a template — an actual plan.
03
Teaching artists on-site
Our teaching artists show up with curriculum, materials, and energy. You focus on your kids; we focus on the making.
04
Ongoing partnership
We check in, adjust, and grow. Most partnerships start as a single program and expand from there.
Let's talk.
Tell us about your school or organization and what you're trying to build. We'll get back to you within two business days with an honest read on whether we're a fit and what a first program could look like.
