Hi, I'm Vanessa Badgley - founder of Art for All!


I'm a local mom of three based in the Wake Forest, NC area with a lifelong love for arts and crafts. I believe creativity is for everyone, and I'm passionate about bringing people together through fun hands-on art experiences.

Through my Art for All Artist Kits, I serve the Raleigh area communities with creative gatherings that are perfect for all ages and skill levels. Whether you're looking for a unique way to celebrate, unwind, or just get messy with some paint, I’ve got you covered!

My approach

☻

Personalized

Each Artist Kit is customized to each artist’s specific interests and needs! If you can dream it, we can create it TOGETHER!

❋

Adaptive

Inclusive arts and crafts programming for Artists with varying support needs - messy paintings, necklaces, tie dye and so much more - something for every skill level and all abilities!

✦

Inclusive

I prioritize wellbeing and ensure a genuine commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. I understand that every Artist has different levels of experience and practice in art-making.

✿

Expression

I strive to grant freedom of expression and offer an alternative way to approach creativity! Humans are wonderful creators of beauty and imaginative craftsmanship.
