About Art & Drawing Studio Franchise — Complete Guide 2026

Art and drawing education for children (ages 4–16) and adults is experiencing a renaissance in India — driven by NEP 2020's emphasis on holistic, arts-integrated education, growing awareness of art therapy and its mental health benefits, and parents seeking creative development programs beyond academics. Art studios can offer drawing and sketching fundamentals, watercolor and acrylic painting, digital art and illustration, pottery and clay modeling, and fine arts exam preparation (for students appearing for NID, NIFT, JJ School of Art entrance exams). Bivha provides a structured 8-level art curriculum, teacher training, art supply procurement guidance, annual student exhibition planning, and school partnership models for after-school art programs. Art studios have some of the highest student loyalty — children enrolled in quality art programs stay for 3–6 years. Investment starts from ₹1 lakh for a home-based or small studio model.

The school art partnership model is particularly effective — schools increasingly seek external art instructors for NEP 2020 compliance. Bivha provides school partnership pitch materials and a proven model for after-school art programs inside school premises.
