Meagan Byrd
Meagan Byrd is an amazingly talented artist and teacher from Orlando, FL. Through painting, she explores the internal and external landscapes that capture the physical, energetic, and emotional nuances of time and place. She is a 2026 graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
In the summer of 2025, she participated in the Art for Change International artist residency, where she spent three weeks living and working in the foothills of the Himalayas in Mussoorie, India. This experience led her to explore ritual, faith, and sacred space, further shaping her practice. Her work is currently on display in Lacoste, France, as part of a group installation project titled Les Nocturnes. Using analog and digital processes, this projection-mapped motion media installation interacts with the façades of historic French architecture and will be on display throughout the summer of 2026. In addition to her work as an artist, Meagan is also a 200-hour registered Yoga Teacher and a Reiki 1 practitioner.

Children’s Art Classes in Longwood, Florida
Longwood Art Classes FAQ
What ages are your art classes for in Longwood?
We offer age-based classes for kids 3 and up, plus adults: Tiny Hands (ages 3–4), Introduction to Art (ages 5–6), Beginning Art (ages 7–8), and Art 1 (ages 9+, first-year students). Art 2 is open to students who have completed Art 1. We also offer homeschool classes (ages 5–17) and Art for Adults. No prior experience is needed to start.
How much do art classes cost?
Weekly classes are $132 per month. There is also a one-time registration fee and art supply fee when you enroll. Tuition is billed automatically on the first of each month following registration. Homeschool families can use Step Up for Students scholarship funds — we are a direct pay provider through the EMA portal.
When are classes held?
Classes meet once a week on your chosen day and time and follow the school year (September–May). We offer after-school classes Tuesday–Friday, Saturday morning and early-afternoon classes, and daytime homeschool classes on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Classes run 45 minutes (Tiny Hands) to 1 hour 15 minutes (Beginning Art and up). See the full class schedule for current openings — students may join mid-year when a seat is available.

What makes Children’s Art Classes different?
Instead of a single medium, every class level follows one comprehensive, skill-based curriculum that uses over 40 professional art mediums — drawing and sketching, painting with acrylics, watercolor and gouache, and clay and ceramics. Students build real skills year over year, from line and shading to color theory and hand-building. Small class sizes (6–12 students) mean plenty of individual attention, and Children’s Art Classes was named Art Classes Provider of the Year 2026.
