Cygnets Art School is due to open a new branch in Taunton later this year, with plans to help more than 250 children over the next 12 months.
The school, which teaches fine art to children aged five and above, has been popular since its inception in 2015.
The franchise was founded by Central Saint Martins graduate Tabitha Booth and her husband, James Heslip, and has helped thousands of children across the UK.
Local franchise owner, Cherise Woods, said: “It’s going to be a whirlwind year, and hugely exciting for the lucky students who’ll get to experience the Cygnets methods for the first time.”
The school teaches art using a “unique, step-by-step method” that allows even the youngest students to pick up some of the toughest techniques.
Ms Woods said: “That’s how we help students achieve more than they‘d ever expected of themselves.”
The school aims to fill the gap left by art being “under-taught” in UK schools.
Founder, Tabitha Booth, said: “Creativity plays such an enormous part in the development of children’s brains, and the more that art is sidelined in schools, the more important it is that companies such as Cygnets exist to keep that creativity alive.”
She added: “There’s a whole host of benefits children get from stimulating their creativity in these sessions.
“It aids mental health, promotes imaginative thinking, and develops fine motor control.
“Plus, above all – it’s super fun.”

The school has ambitious plans to open a branch in every area of the UK.
Ms Woods said: “Our mission is to have a branch of Cygnets in every area of the UK; to give confidence and inspire those who may not have considered themselves capable before.
“We can’t wait to get started and get out and begin meeting the local students, and truly wow them with their results.”
