Today we’d like to introduce you to Tansholpan Barney.
Hi Tansholpan, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Mig & Tan LLC was created from a passion for helping people express themselves through creativity and movement. We started by offering small art and fitness classes with the goal of creating a welcoming space where people of all ages and skill levels could learn, grow, and have fun.
As more people joined our classes, we continued expanding our programs and building a supportive community that encourages creativity, confidence, wellness, and personal growth. Today, we’re proud to serve the Buffalo and Town of Tonawanda area by providing engaging art and fitness experiences that inspire people to stay active, explore their creativity, and connect with others. We look forward to continuing to grow and making a positive impact in our community.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey hasn’t always been easy. Like many small businesses, we faced challenges building awareness, attracting new clients, and balancing the costs of running a business while continuing to grow. Starting with limited resources meant wearing many hats—from teaching classes and planning events to handling marketing and administration.
Despite those challenges, each obstacle has helped us learn, adapt, and improve. The support of our students, families, and community has kept us motivated, and we’re grateful for every opportunity to grow. Those experiences have made Mig & Tan LLC stronger and even more committed to providing meaningful art and fitness programs that make a positive impact.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
At Mig & Tan LLC, we combine art and fitness to inspire creativity, confidence, and healthy living. We offer art and fitness classes designed to help people of all ages express themselves, stay active, and build meaningful connections within the community. We also organize art exhibitions and community events that showcase local talent and encourage cultural exchange.
One of our greatest accomplishments is producing our own charity art exhibitions in both Buffalo and Toronto. We have funded these events ourselves, which has been a significant challenge, but we believe in our mission and continue investing our time, energy, and resources to make them possible. Seeing artists receive recognition, bringing communities together, and supporting meaningful causes makes every challenge worthwhile.
What sets us apart is our commitment to community, creativity, and purpose. We don’t just teach classes—we create opportunities for people to grow, connect, and give back. We are proud to continue our mission of using art and fitness to make a positive impact, one class and one exhibition at a time.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
Right now, our biggest focus is reaching more people and generating more leads so we can continue growing our programs and expanding our impact. Like many small businesses, attracting new clients is an ongoing challenge, especially while self-funding many of our community initiatives and charity art exhibitions.
We remain committed to our mission of bringing people together through art and fitness. Every new student, client, and community partner helps us continue offering meaningful classes, organizing exhibitions, and creating opportunities for artists and participants. We believe that with greater community support and increased visibility, we’ll be able to continue making a positive difference for many years to come.
