Lunch & Afterschool Programs
MESSY HANDS is now offering Lunch Time & Afterschool Art Programs for JK-Gr.3. Please contact a MESSY HANDS representative for more detailed information. Note: Afterschool Programs take place in a classroom within the school premises, not on the MESSY HANDS art bus. We look forward to being a part of your school's Afterschool Program!
During School Program
Schools can visit our Art Studio as a day trip or we can visit schools with the Travelling Art Bus! The MESSY HANDS Art Bus parks at the school and conducts an art lesson that compliments the Teacher’s unit themes and plans. Each student creates a hands-on art activity in the inspiring environment of the MESSY HANDS Art Bus. Teachers pre-select an art activity from our list of lessons and projects, which correspond with the appropriate grade level. Book a class or the entire school.

MESSY HANDS has permanently parked its large Art Bus in the 2000 sq. ft. art studio. This still allows students to learn & create in the inspiring environment of the Art Bus as well as taking advantage of creating art in our large studio space. Whether it be painting on an easel, or sculpting with clay, students will experience what it feels like to create in a large studio environment.

What is MESSY HANDS?
The People:
Tiziana D’Angelo, a former teacher with a unique vision and passion, started MESSY HANDS in 1999, and pursued her dream of creating a travelling art studio. She purchased a school bus and converted it into an art classroom on wheels. MESSY HANDS has grown to have several art buses as well as a staff of professional artists who are passionate about art. Our driving force is making children happy by empowering them as they learn about, and create, art.
