We’re thrilled to be part of other kid-based organizations’ efforts to stay connected to their students while they are at home!Additionally, some of our Franchise Owners are using art kids as a way to make a difference in the lives of kids in their community who may need a little extra help during this time. <a href="https://franchise.kidcreatestudio.com/jerry-lamonica-spreads-creativity-art-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=art-franchise-connects-with-students-in-creative-ways-during-covid-19-2712938" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jerry LaMonica</a>, who owns a Kidcreate Studio franchise in <a href="https://kidcreate.com/rock-hill?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=art-franchise-connects-with-students-in-creative-ways-during-covid-19-2712938" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rock Hill, South Carolina</a>, has started a program where his location will match any donation of take-home art kits to children in need.

Giving kids the opportunity to showcase their work helps bolster their confidence and feel proud of themselves- something that’s more important now than ever before as they adjust to their new normal.<h3>The (Art) Show Must Go On!</h3><figure class="image image-style-align-right"><img src="https://1851-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/story/editor/1587755754_1851 image 2.jpg"></figure>For a few of our newest Franchise Owners, one of the things they’ve been anticipating most is the Grand Opening of their new location.

Despite the change in plans, Greenbaum remains optimistic about what the future holds for her art franchise, saying, “We’re still on a mission to bring grins and giggles to kids through art and the community is saying yes!”You Gotta Have ArtAs a kids’ art franchise, we’re proud to say that Kidcreate Studio is considered a “recession-proof” business, thanks to parents’ tendency to prioritize their children’s educational and emotional needs even in times of economic downturn.
