History
Eckford Street Studio is the next step in teaching artist Kristin Melkin's collaboration with North Brooklyn kids and their community. It is a place for young artists to explore materials and processes, realize visions, inspire and be inspired, and make a mess. The roots of Eckford Street Studio can be found in ARTLAB, an early childhood art program that was born in the back room of Greenpoint's Caribou Baby boutique. Our ARTLAB classes are for children ages 1-4, and we offer Summer Art Camp and After School programs for grades K-5.
Specialties
Eckford Street Studio is where kids make art in Brooklyn! We offer a wide variety of ARTLAB classes for children ages 1-4 and their adult collaborators. For older children we offer many drop-off programs as part of our Art After School and Summer Art Camps for school aged children (grades K-5). Eckford Streeet Studio is a place for the neighborhood's youngest generation of artists to connect to their community, explore art processes and materials, and discover their own ways of expressing themselves. We hope you join us!
