our story

A little studio with big imagination

Next Chapter Art Studio is a kids' art studio at 250 Central St. in Manville, Rhode Island, founded by art teacher Jane Pichette. We run summer art camps and after-school art classes for young artists ages 6–12 from Manville, Lincoln, Cumberland, Woonsocket, and across the Blackstone Valley.

Our philosophy is simple: kids learn art by making art. Real paint, real clay, real canvases — and projects that let every camper succeed at their own level, whether they're six or twelve.

What happens at the studio

  • Summer art camps — themed four-morning camps in June, July, and August. See this summer's lineup.
  • After-school art classes — ongoing classes during the school year for kids 6–12.
  • Small groups, big projects — painting, sculpture, mixed media, building, and plenty of glitter.

Meet Jane

Jane Pichette is an art teacher who started Next Chapter Art Studio to give local kids a place where creativity comes first. Every camp and class is planned and taught by Jane herself — so the person who designed the project is the same person helping your camper bring it to life.
