In 2024 Rachel Armentano (Harbor Creative Arts) & Laura Marie Small (Kidcasso) brought together New England based children’s art studio owners in beautiful Narragansett, RI for a creative business summit and retreat. It surpassed their wildest expectations and created a lifelong support network for a unique group of creative business owners. 

We offered this experience again in 2025, bringing together 20(!) children’s art studios! This unique opportunity has provided more than networking, sharing of resources, roundtable discussions about business models and studio management – it has created lasting bonds and support systems amongst like minded business owners and passionate arts educators. 

This year, we’re welcoming a new cohort into a stunning coastal beach house in Narragansett, Rhode Island for three days of leadership, creativity, and restoration.
