Dear Artsitters Community,

 

It's with a heart full of gratitude and a hint of sadness that I share some news with you. Five years ago, I embarked on the journey of founding Artsitters, driven by a passion to make art accessible to all children while supporting fellow artists. Your belief in our vision has been the bedrock of our success, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.

 

To the amazing parents who entrusted us with their children's artistic journeys, thank you for your support, trust and belief in Artsitters. It's been an honor to be a part of your children's artistic journeys!

And to our incredible artists, you've brought magic and inspiration into the lives of countless children. Your dedication and talent have shaped Artsitters into the vibrant community it is today. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!

 

However, life has a way of presenting new challenges and opportunities. I've made the tough decision that Artsitters, as it stands, is no longer sustainable for me. While this decision weighs heavy on my heart, I must prioritize other demands right now.

 

As of April 1st, we will not be taking in new requests. (Unfortunately, not a joke!)

 

To say goodbye, I invite you all to join us for an Artsitters farewell party at Vondelpark on Sunday, May 18, by the leaning tree next to Koninginnenweg entrance from 14:00 to 17:00. Let's celebrate the memories we've shared, the creativity that flourished, and the friendships formed. It'll be an afternoon filled with food, drinks, and mini workshops for the kids. Let's make it a day to remember!

 

Though this chapter may be ending, let's stay connected and continue to celebrate the joy of art together.

 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Janina 💖
