OFF THE WALL STUDIO . . . A Learning Environment for the Young at Art was founded in 1983 in Hawaii as a means of offering art enrichment programs to students of all ages. A studio was opened in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1996 and closed in the spring of 2012 after Off The Wall opened a location in Stillwater, Minnesota in 2011.

Karron Nottingham, Director/Instructor of Off The Wall Studio, is a professional artist recognized nationally and internationally for both her mixed media constructions and her lectures / seminars on creative content.  She is a dynamic speaker with extensive experience in art education who enthusiastically embraces the development of “self!”.

Art has always been a wonderful means of personal expression and exploration for students.

Art offers a unique view of the world and it’s history through the perspectives of various artists and their works.

Art exploration builds self esteem and offers freedom to create and imagine.

Art history and appreciation places the world’s vast cultures, architecture, people and places in a child’s hand and mind and therefore widens their appreciation and understanding of their world.

Art material exploration offers a child yet another tool by which to express themselves.
