Stapledon Arts

Here’s a quick recap from our Happy heART Paint & Scoop Experience 🍦🎨

On a rainy day, something special happened…

Families, Kids (ages 3–10) , couples, and elders came together—some picking up a paintbrush for the very first time. They created, laughed, and surprised themselves along the way.

People showed up, tried something new, and actually enjoyed it.
Some didn’t think they could paint—but they did.

That’s what Stapledon Arts is about.
Creating space for people to just start.

With our paint kits guiding the experience, creativity felt easy, reflective, and joyful for everyone in the room.

There were surprise raffles, sweet scoops from and a whole lot of love—and it became more than an event… it became a memory.

This is what happens when art meets community 💛

Introducing our final artist collab—Ruben Dario Ramirez ✨

is a Dominican-American digital illustrator reppin Uptown, his work is bold, vibrant, and deeply rooted in culture—capturing nostalgic moments in their purest form.

At Stapledon Arts, we partner with schools and nonprofits across NYC to engage families through art… and we’ve been so inspired seeing more boys find joy in creating with us.

Ruben felt like the perfect artist to reflect the communities we serve—and the stories we’re proud to uplift.

This collaboration is about culture, connection, and creating space for the next generation to see themselves in art.
