Let's get curious,
and make art,
together.

We are an exclusive online community of parents, guardians, and caretakers who are raising young artists.
Our Purpose
We are committed to practicing innovative ways to parent, while fostering strong bonds with our children over shared curiosity, artmaking, and creative adventures.
Our Vision
We formed this community to support each other as we:
- Become their biggest champions
- Explore different art practices and techniques
- Nurture their curiosity and confidence
- Build a foundation for their thriving creative futures


Our Founder
Erica Ann Garber
I enjoy drawing from observation, playing with paint, and exploration in sculpting, jewelry, sewing, and making. As an artist raising two young artists, the creativity we share is my greatest inspiration and joy.
I'm an arts educator with 25 years of experience championing the arts in NYC who spent the second half of my career directing some of the largest youth arts programs in the country.
Makers Meet is the culmination of my research in the field, a lifetime as an artist, and my parenting journey.
Our Members
We are SOOO happy to be a part of this art class. It's easily the best part of our daughter's week and brings out a side of her we don't often see these days. This is the school experience we were hoping for this year. Sadly we didn't get it from her day school especially in terms of interaction, attention, and connection with peers. This experience with Erica has been really good for her and it has made a real impact on our lives.

I like art with Erica. It's fun and she always lets everyone have a chance to speak.
I like all of her classes. They're fun!

Camille
3rd grade artist
Erica's classes inspire my son to explore his creativity and present his thoughts through art. Her online classes bring joy to his day. Erica has a unique ability to connect with children and encourage them to be themselves through artistic practice. Her classes gave confidence to my son, and he smiled and laughed a lot along the way.

parent
Erica is a master at creating supportive spaces for artists. As a teaching artist I rely on her as a mentor who inspires me. Erica is skillful and compassionate community builder where every voice is given respect, and every person feels valued. I know anyone who has the good fortune to engage with her, will feel deeply enriched.
