Sterling, VA, February 12, 2018 – Abrakadoodle is pleased to welcome “Bluetiful” new franchisee Colby Detwiler to its newest franchise territory serving Pensacola that will bring award-winning creative, mobile art programs to benefit children and adults. New franchise owners are assigned a Crayola® color, and Colby believes “Bluetiful” is a great fit for his new business. Like Crayola’s new color, Colby is a big advocate of arts-infused STEAM education. Abrakadoodle offers a robust STEAM curriculum that brings hands-on art experiences in the applied topics of science, technology, engineering and math. Abrakadoodle Pensacola will be debuting at Pensacon February 23rd through the 25th, with a big tent in the Poseidon Bay area featuring face painting during the popular event. Abrakadoodle offers wide-ranging art programs to include visual arts classes, camps, workshops, in-school field trips, arty parties and face painting delivered at schools, community centers and other sites in the community. Abrakadoodle also offers creative art programs and social art parties and events through its Art Splash program, which is designed specifically for adults. Abrakadoodle will be serving the Pensacola area to include North and West Pensacola, Brent, Cordova and Warrington.
