About us.
Arts VanGo was created in 2022, in Haymarket, VA, with the mission to make arts education available to artists of all ages and abilities. With the belief that art brings us together, and allows us all to speak the same language, our Founder launched Arts VanGo after realizing the need for high-quality, and affordable art experiences outside of a formal school setting.
-
Our workshops.
Arts VanGo workshops are created for artists of all ages and abilities. Our artists have included adults, homeschool groups, play date friends, families that want to create art together, ambitious young artists wanting a more private instructional setting, special larger-scale events, scout groups, and preschool groups interested in finding programs to further their education.
Pick one workshop, create a series of workshops for your artists to enjoy, or work with us to create a custom experience built around your artist’s interests.

Portfolio.
All of our workshops are designed under the guiding principles that no two pieces of art should look alike, and that there are no mistakes in art. Check out our ever growing portfolio of works created by artists in Arts VanGo programs.
