About us

Explorer Studio is a multidisciplinary arts education initiative by Artly World Nonprofit serving grade school students in the Austin area with small-group and large-group arts and music classes.

We connect arts and music instruction with larger goals of developing self-awareness, creative expression, and understanding of diverse artistic and cultural traditions. Our mission is to create opportunities for more people to engage in meaningful experiences through the arts and live more conscious and artful lives.

Our programs are developed by experienced educators, professional artists and musicians, scholars, and cultural experts who have spent decades perfecting their craft, studying at top universities, and traveling the world researching different arts, music, and cultural traditions.

We provide instruction in different disciplines, including visual arts, music, and dance, guiding students to exercise their creativity and expression individually and in groups. Classes culminate in an impressive student showcase at the end of each semester, complementing the students’ learning experience with the opportunity to present original work and celebrate their achievements.
