KidzArt Franchise Brings Right Brain Thinking to Local Kids

(St. Louis, MO, July 26, 2012)– Inspiring local children to embrace their
creativity and have fun with art is one of the goals of KidzArt franchise
owner, Zolie Prior. Prior recently opened a KidzArt® franchise, an
international children’s art education company with over seventy franchises, and
will be serving families throughout west St. Louis County.

KidzArt offers a unique curriculum for kids, from
preschoolers to teenagers. Classes are small, usually 12 to 15 enrollees, to
maximize the amount of attention paid to each student. The program encourages
right brain thinking and teaches students how to express and gain greater
self-confidence through drawing. KidzArt's non-competitive environment (where
there are no mistakes) includes relaxation exercises and soft music to allow
students to focus.

“With a background in education and art therapy, I understand
the need for children to express themselves and their feelings without using
words," says Prior. "Whatever a kid may be going through and home or
school, KidzArt gives them an opportunity to relax through the power of making
art with no pressure and no judgment. I'm very excited to bring the KidzArt curriculum and teaching
method to the local area."

KidzArt classes are
offered in various locations in Ladue, Creve Couer and Chesterfield and Prior will
be collaborating with additional local schools, PTA/PTO's and
recreation/resource centers to offer more after school art programs.  KidzArt also provides art birthday parties,
after-school parties and art camps during school vacations and the summer break.

“Although KidzArt programs are based in drawing, we
provide a fine arts experience that builds creative
thinkers and problem solvers,” says Sue Bartman, CEO of KidzArt.
"KidzArt allows our students to explore, express and be motivated by their
artwork in an environment that promotes brainstorming and
self-expression."
