An inspiring, nurturing, and creative setting provides children with the opportunity to explore and grow through art. Children's art classes are designed with an emphasis on process rather than product. Creative problem solving and individual expression are elements of each class. Occasionally students work in teams on group projects. Class subjects often relate to the exhibitions on view in the gallery and incorporate art historical references to provide context for learning. Supplies are provided for all children's classes.
Registration, Refund and Credit Policy
For all classes a 90% refund is given upon withdrawal prior to the registration deadline. No credits or refunds will be given after the registration deadline. When a class is cancelled, students are issued a full refund.
