Creative Color Art Studios LLC (CCAS) is owned and operated by Carrie Curran, an accomplished artist whose work is in collections throughout the United States. She is the highly respected former director of the Scottsdale Artists' School Youth Academy. Family, friends and art are Carrie's passions. For years, she has dreamed of a space where she could create special events that include all the things she loves: art, yoga, food, jewelry, fashion, collectibles, current events, and providing the opportunity to share enjoyable experiences. The Art Studios' mission is to provide a learning place for adults and children to tap into their creativity while having fun through art play and art instruction at all skill levels. As long as an interest in art exists in an individual, Creative Color Art Studios provides an avenue for developing that interest. As an artist and mother of three young budding artists, Carrie developed a program in 1996, Fine Art for Children, to offer quality art instruction to her children, their friends, and neighbors. When it became obvious that the program worked and was thoroughly enjoyed by the children, praised by their parents and lauded by fellow artists and art educators, she formalized the program and opened it up to the community. It has become the core of her workshops, popular summer program, school break sessions, and mentoring. With her expertise, Carrie created the successful Scottsdale Artists' School Youth Academy in 2004, which she directed for the last seven years. She brings this wealth of knowledge, experience and talent to Creative Color Arts Studios where her instructors, local artists skilled in art education, utilize teaching techniques developed and supervised by Carrie.
