Big art, made by little hands.
Little Artists is a grassroots initiative that gives all youth an equitable place to imagine, create, and connect with each other — and this summer, we're carrying our passion for art all the way to Ghana.
Cost-Free Art Lessons
Our young artists gather to draw, paint, sculpt, and experiment with new materials, guided by talented high school and working artists from the Houston community.
Cultural Exchange
This summer's Ghana trip lets our artists share their work, learn from Ghanaian artists and craftspeople, and bring new inspiration home.
Community Powered
Little Artists runs on donations, volunteer hours, and community sponsors — every bit of support shows up directly in what our kids get to create.

.event-row.Our Summer in Ghana
This summer, Little Artists is traveling to Ghana for a hands-on cultural exchange — learning from local artists, sharing our own work, and creating pieces inspired by everything we see along the way.
Why Ghana?
Ghana's rich tradition of textiles, sculpture, and storytelling gives our young artists a chance to see art as a living, everyday practice — and to build real relationships with young artists their own age on the other side of the world.

About Little Artists
Little Artists is a community art program based in Houston, giving young artists ages 11–13 a creative home base — and this year, the chance to take that creativity abroad.
Our Mission
We believe every kid deserves real tools, real mentorship, and a real audience for their creative work. Little Artists provides weekly studio time, exhibition opportunities, and this summer, a cultural exchange trip to Ghana.
Our Community
Little Artists is powered by volunteer artists, local sponsors, and families across Houston who believe creative expression belongs to every child, regardless of what they can afford.
