starAbout us

A gallery built for little hands 🎨

Kids Art Corner is a small, non-commercial project in Ottawa, Canada. It exists for one reason: children make wonderful things, and most of the internet is a poor place to show them.

What we are trying to do

Children who make art want two things — for someone to see it, and to learn how to make the next one better. Nearly every platform that offers the first one also brings feeds, follower counts, comment sections and advertising. We took those out and kept the gallery.

No audience metrics

No follower counts, no leaderboards, no trending page. A child's drawing is not competing with anyone else's.

No comment section

Nobody can write to a child through this site. Encouragement comes from the grown-ups in their life, not from strangers.

No advertising, ever

The site sells nothing and carries no ads. There is no commercial reason for us to keep anyone here longer.

How it works

  1. 1

    A grown-up sends the artwork

    A parent, guardian or teacher emails us a photo of the artwork along with the child's first name and age. Children do not create accounts and cannot upload anything themselves.

  2. 2

    A person reviews it

    Every submission is read and looked at by a real person before anything appears on the site. Nothing is published automatically.

  3. 3

    It appears in the gallery

    The artwork goes up with a first name and an age — nothing more. It can be taken down at any time by asking.

Who it is for

Children aged 4 to 12

Old enough to be proud of what they made, young enough that the open internet is not the right place to put it.

Parents and guardians

You stay in control. You send the artwork, you decide what is shared, and you can have it removed with one email.

Teachers and homeschool families

A calm place to celebrate a finished project, and a small library of techniques to try next.
