Our Story

Smiling Artist Studios was founded with a passion for creativity, community, and family. As a family-owned business rooted in Round Rock, Texas, our mission is to provide a space where imagination can thrive and local talent can flourish.

​

I’m Danay Kennedy, the founder and heart behind Smiling Artist Studios. My journey into the arts began as a personal outlet, but it quickly became a calling to support others—especially emerging local artists—on their own creative paths. I’ve always believed that art can be a healing, inspiring force, and I wanted to build a place where others could experience that too.

​

At Smiling Artist Studios, we’re more than just an art space—we're a creative community. We offer hands-on workshops, fun events, and space rentals to support all kinds of artistic expression. From painting classes to vision board sessions and even youth art camps, our goal is to inspire creativity at every stage of life.

​

We're dedicated to helping local artists not only create but grow. Whether you're just beginning or already building your portfolio, we want to be part of your story.
