Our youth program offers art classes to kids up to 13 years old for a small fee. For us, “art” means every form of creative expression: we’ve had workshops about everything from watercolor to dance! Check this page often, as we’re always offering something new.
If you’re over the age of 13, don’t worry! We have something for you, too. Our FREE after-school program, Art Rocks Teens (A.R.T.), provides teenagers with a range of engaging art classes. Click here to see the schedule and get more information.
