YOUTH PROGRAMS ages 6–13

We believe that giving kids the tools to create freely is fundamental to a healthy and happy childhood.

Our youth courses and camps, available for kids ages 6–13, encourage young artists to explore while also giving them the foundational skills they need to make their artistic ideas come to life.

We offer spaces for creating that are fun, non-competitive, and non-outcome based so that kids can truly experience the full range of artistic creation.

TEEN PROGRAMS ages 14–17

Our Teen Studio offerings continue the model of our youth programs by giving teens the tools to create what they want on their own terms.

Of the teen courses available, Teen Studio, held every Friday night and open to teens ages 14–17, has become a staple for young creatives looking for their community.

Studio nights offer participating teens access to high-quality art supplies and the guidance of professional faculty artists as they work independently on projects of their choosing. Teen Studio fosters a unique community amongst the participating teens, as they lean on one another for artistic input, co-create together for exhibits and pop-up shows, and bond over pizza!

Supervised care is a service we offer to include a lunch between morning and afternoon camps for children who are registered for both morning and afternoon sessions. Lunch supervised care runs from 12-1PM; please note that lunch is not provided and each student should bring their own lunch. The cost of supervised care is $30 per week-long camp
