History

Established in 2014.

From a young age, Art & Beyond founders Andy Schwartz and David McKay knew and embraced the importance of creative expression. As children, both were enrolled in art classes and workshops in and out of school. They each then continued to study visual arts during their college years and pursued further artistic expression during their twenty-​five years in the corporate manufacturing, sales and marketing. In June of 2014, Andy and Dave formed the concept of Art&Beyond and began building their independent art studio and school concept with the hopes of sharing their passion for the arts with kids and adults in a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment servicing the greater North Atlanta communities of Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners and beyond.
