SPRING 2022
Young Artists Program
Our Young Artists program is designed to encourage creativity, with an emphasis on process rather than product. Children and teens can explore a variety of art forms online and in person this season. Most importantly, positive acceptance of each child’s artistry builds confidence and enhances self-worth. Please note: in-studio classes are at reduced capacity and masks are required to be worn at all times, in accordance with state guidelines. SECURITY RULES REQUIRE THAT YOU COME INTO THE SCHOOL TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP YOUR CHILD FOR IN-STUDIO CLASSES.
