ArtStudio Kids is an open-ended, heart-led process art program! Each session, we focus on unique materials and techniques, rather than specific project outcomes to create a unique work of art. This allows children to explore their creativity, practice innovation, and learn through play.
 

We will occasionally feature artists from the community to come in and lead us in our artistic pursuits. Check each event listing for special guest announcements! This program can get MESSY! Dress accordingly!
