YOUNG REMBRANDTS

Young Rembrandts is a franchise system offering art education programs that teach drawing and artistic techniques to preschool and elementary school children through in-person classes in schools, preschools, day cares, community centers, and via live Zoom sessions. Franchisees operate as independent business owners using proprietary monthly lesson plans and camp curriculum, without needing a dedicated studio, and focus on securing venues year-round. The target market consists of parents seeking quality, professional art instruction for their young children, competing with other art programs and local artists.
