History

Established in 1988.

Artist Susan Bainbridge began teaching art in her children’s classrooms to ensure that they received art in their schools. The students responded so favorably that she started Art Start, offering art lessons to small groups. In 1990 she began her art camp program, giving kids in North San Diego County exposure to a variety of art media and memorable summer art making experiences.

Art Start has inspired kids throughout San Diego and Poway at public and private schools, home school groups, art camps, scout troops and birthday parties.
