I have a dream “To open a Museum of Kids Art.”

I have been an artist since the age of 3.

I have been an Art Educator for the past 25 years.

I love art and I love teaching art to children.

Art is fun and helps to develop creativity in children.

I have a dream to open a Museum of Kids Art, where creativity sparks and grows.

Will you help me to make this dream come true?

An Artist, Art Educator, Director/Founder KAM

The permanent art collection of the Kids Art Museum began in 2004 when Sofia Matrosova was working as Director, Curriculum Coordinator and Master Art Teacher at Bright Minds Child Development Center in San Jose, CA (2004-2010). The curriculum of Bright Minds was based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and the use of Fine Arts as a tool for the development of attention in young children (Sofia’s MAED research, University of Phoenix’09). 

Fine arts were interlaced into the daily curriculum and children’s activities at Bright Minds. The children worked on group and individual art projects. The group projects became the foundation of the art collection. Kids Art Museum was born on February 17, 2007, when the 1st art exhibition of the students was unveiled at Bright Minds. At that time the collection of children’s artwork started and is continued till today. As of today, the collection consists of 137 large pieces of children’s artwork ready for KAM permanent exhibition.
