Art studio The Giggling Pig has announced that it will open a third location on May 3 in Milford.
The Giggling Pig will offer art classes, after-school enrichment programs, birthday parties, special events and camps.
The Giggling Pig opened its first location in Shelton in 2011. Taking its name from a children’s storybook written and illustrated by founder Hannah Perry called The Giggling Pig and Friends, the love of whimsy and playfulness inspires everything inside The Giggling Pig studio in all of its locations.
The new location will be at 44 Naugatuck Ave. in the Walnut Beach Arts and Business District. Milford native Makayla Silva will be opening the newest location of the art studio.
“Growing up as a child who loved art (and couldn’t get enough of it) my parents were always seeking opportunities for me to learn and be exposed to the arts, taking classes from the kitchen tables of some incredible Milford artists,” Silva said. “Now, as a Milford mother of two, I quickly realized a need in the Milford community for arts programming for children. I’ve known Hannah for 10 years, taking my own children to her Shelton studio and was thrilled to have the opportunity to open a Giggling Pig in Milford.”
A grand opening celebration will be held on Friday, May 6 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
