“I cannot recommend Artful Minds highly enough for the incredible experience they provided during a class I attended with my children. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. A special mention must go to Sara, the owner, who was not only present during the class but also fully engaged with the children and parents alike. Her passion for art therapy and her genuine care for each participant were evident throughout the session. Sara has a natural talent for connecting with children, encouraging them to express themselves creatively while making them feel confident and supported. One of the most remarkable aspects of the experience was how the children were treated with such respect and maturity. They were given a tour of the gallery by the head curator, who spoke to them as equals, engaging them in meaningful discussions about each art piece. The children were encouraged to share their viewpoints and interpretations, which not only boosted their confidence but also made them feel heard and valued. It was inspiring to watch their curiosity and creativity come alive in such an empowering environment. The class itself was beautifully structured to allow for self-expression while incorporating therapeutic elements that encouraged mindfulness and emotional well-being. My children thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and I was amazed at how engaged and focused they were throughout. Sara’s warmth, expertise, and dedication to her work truly set this center apart. The experience not only nurtured my children's artistic skills but also gave them a sense of accomplishment and joy. I am deeply grateful for the positive impact this session had on us and look forward to attending more classes in the future. Thank you, Sara, and the entire team at Artful Minds, for creating such a special and meaningful space for children and families! Sincerely,

"I hope you are doing well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience Leo had at your art workshop in Alserkal Avenue. Your passion and creativity truly inspired him—so much so that he has now decided to organize his own art workshop for children in our neighborhood! He has been carefully planning everything he needs to buy and is eagerly watching space documentaries to share his newfound knowledge with his friends. It is amazing to see how much impact a single class can have on a child’s curiosity and confidence. Thank you for not only teaching art but also for igniting a sense of wonder and possibility in young minds. The work you do changes habits, fosters creativity, and opens doors to something greater. With gratitude, Diana.

"Artful minds is really what I felt was missing in a city like Dubai for my kids and i'm really happy I found it. Sara, the founder, is just a really lovely person, and it's joy to see her interact with her students. She really puts in 110% and doesn't just teach crafts and arts, but also teaches children that free thinking, fun and lively way that artists live and think. highly, HIGHLY recommended."

"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful insights you share. After reading your article, I decided to change my usual approach to talking with my son. Normally, I carefully try to learn about his day at school and how he feels, but I don’t always get a detailed response. Yesterday, inspired by your ideas, I asked him to draw everything interesting that happened to him. The result far exceeded my expectations: instead of a few brief words, I received a real masterpiece—a drawing brimming with emotions and a detailed story about every moment. I realized how deeply he experiences everything at school and how much he wants to share his inner world when he has a creative way to express himself. Thank you for helping parents see their children from a different perspective and for giving us the tools to foster warmer, more open communication. Because of you, we can better understand our children’s feelings and truly celebrate each pencil stroke, every word, and each small discovery!"
