CHILDREN'S ART CLASSES
Children’s Art Classes franchises provide a comprehensive art education and enrichment program for children aged 3-18, featuring classes in painting, drawing, design, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and more, which supplement or replace traditional school art curricula. The business operates primarily during the school year with a 9-month curriculum aligned to local school calendars, plus summer sessions, targeting parents, schools, and community organizations in markets where art instruction has been reduced. The franchisor's model involves granting franchises to develop and operate 'Schools' offering these hands-on art programs.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 9 franchisee outlets open for a full year 2024, out of 12 franchisee locations and 2 affiliate-owned locations reported in Table 1-Gross Sales for 2024.
* Average gross revenue for 2024 was calculated from the Gross Sales of 9 franchisee-owned locations that were open for a full 12 months in 2024. The original Table 1 (pages 1 and 2) lists 12 franchisee locations, but 3 of them opened late in 2024 (Saratoga Springs, UT; St. Petersburg, FL; Manhattan, NY) and their reported 2024 sales are not representative of a full year, so they were excluded from the average calculation. Affiliate-owned locations were also excluded as per instructions. All profit/expense related fields are null because the provided income statement (Table 2) is explicitly for affiliate-owned locations, and no profit/expense data is available for franchisee units.
