Meraki Contemporary Art Academy

Meraki Contemporary Art Academy (MCAA) is an English-language children's art academy in the Painters Street design cluster on Wending Road in Xuhui. It runs structured, hands-on visual art programs for ages two to fifteen, covering painting, sculpture, digital drawing, and a fashion-design track for older students, built around its in-house VAKED teaching method. Classes are project-based and taught in English, with holiday workshops that attract international families from across the city. Sessions cost about ¥2,000 per project. It’s a good fit for parents seeking a serious, portfolio-minded studio rather than a casual craft class.
