For over 20 years, art-K has been developing and continuously refining its art skills syllabus. In the last 8 years, we have honed our modes of operation, resulting in a successful and profitable network of 50 clubs across the UK.

art-K puts child safeguarding first, as such, all franchisees will undergo voluntary registration with Ofsted. This voluntary registration for extra-curricular activities ensures that stringent procedures and processes are in place to protect students. While the registration process may seem onerous, art-K understands the necessary requirements to meet this gold standard of reassurance for our customers.

We are currently seeking franchises outside the M25, as we have already established a strong presence within this region. Outside the M25, we have observed that self-managed units demonstrate better adaptability to their local communities compared to directly-owned branches.

This opportunity to pursue what you do best and have a rewarding career requires you to have the courage to invest in yourself. Prior to making any commitments, ample evidence is available in the public domain for you to conduct thorough due diligence. You may visit our Trustpilot site to see the positive feedback and appreciation expressed by our customers for art-K’s services and the warm welcome extended by our studios and teachers. Additionally, annual reports are accessible online through Companies House, providing insight into the trading history and longevity of individual studios.

So what’s next?

Making the decision to transition to running your own business is significant, but you’ve already begun with small steps and no obligations. If you’re interested in learning more, please fill out the form to speak with our franchise consultant. While running your own business may not be suitable for everyone, at the core of art-K lies the passion for teaching art, particularly through our art-K program, and going the extra mile. If this aligns with your strengths, everything else becomes mechanical in achieving the business’s objectives, and we provide assistance every step of the way.

Following this initial step, you can join us for a discovery day, interact with other art-K franchisees, and gain further reassurance that our business model is effective – all before any commitments or decisions are made.

Once you are confident in your decision and have convinced yourself that it is feasible, investing in yourself will only unlock your full potential!
