Artsy Smartsy began in 2009 in the basement activities room of Chandler Place Assisted Living, in St. Anthony Villiage, MN for Dolly Ferguson,( Tina, our owner's, late grandmother)and her senior home neighbors. It was a way to encourage her to meet new friends and also to help Dolly continue her joyful life and inspire her creativity after her husband Huberts' sudden and unexpected passing.

Today, Artsy Smartsy, LLC provides high quality and fantastically fun art classes to over 350 seniors EACH MONTH!  The program, which is the first and only one of its kind in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, began as an outreach program which traveled to over 28 locations such as Co-op's, Independent or Assisted Living, Memory Care Residences, Adult Day services, Community Education, the Wilder Foundation, and the Hennepin County Library system and has also been  involved in the Uptown Art Fair and the Minnesota Monarch Festival .

As of January 2013, Artsy Smartsy will be offering NEW "Artsy Smartsy Studio" classes, where monthly classes will be available to the community. There will be adult, "Mom or Grandma/Pa and ME", Girl/Boy scout events, Mom's clubs, Adult AND Children's B-day parties, as well as Team Building events.  The classes are held at 909 7th Avenue NW, New Brighton, MN 55112 at our new STUDIO!.

No matter what program you choose, the art mediums taught each month vary wildly to attract people of ALL interests.  Some mediums include; watercolors, oil pastel resist paintings, mosaic mirrors, and multi-media collage, to fine fabric projects such as weaving and wreaths making. Artsy Smartsy, LLC aims to provide inexpensive FINE art classes to any and every one, even those underserved adults who have very limited incomes. We bring in QUALITY art projects which the students can be PROUD to call their own! They will want to display their works and give them as gifts. This goal requires the use of HIGH quality materials at each and every class!
