On the Easel is a community art studio in Queens — built for curious people, working professionals, and growing artists.

Art isn't just for artists. It's for the person who needs an outlet after a long week. The professional who wants to bond with their team in a real way. The parent who wants to try something new with their kid. The creative who's been waiting for the right space to just make something.
On the Easel exists to make art accessible, approachable, and transformative — for everyone in our community and beyond.
I'm Justin Kinney — artist, educator, and founder of On the Easel.
I didn't grow up with access to art. I found it later in life, during one of the hardest periods I've been through. And it changed everything. It gave me an outlet, a community, and eventually — a purpose.
I built On the Easel because I believe everyone deserves that. Not just people who grew up in art programs or went to art school. Everyone.
Every class I teach, every event I host — it's rooted in that same belief. You don't need innate talent. You just need to show up.
