Come Create With Us!

At Children’s Art Classes, kids do more than make art.

They learn real artistic skills, explore new materials, build confidence, and discover what they’re capable of creating.

Our curriculum-based program introduces students to 40+ art mediums—from drawing and painting to sculpture, design, mixed media, and more—within a structured, supportive environment.

And because creativity doesn’t look the same for every child, there’s room for every artist here.

What Makes Children’s Art Classes Different?

Our school-year program is designed for long-term artistic development, not just a different craft project every week.

Students:

  • Explore 40+ different art mediums
  • Build skills progressively throughout the year
  • Learn in a structured, instructor-led environment
  • Develop drawing, painting, sculpture and design skills
  • Build confidence through creative achievement
  • Work through a two-year rotating curriculum with no repeated projects

We believe kids don’t need to be “good at art” to be artists. They just need the opportunity to create.

Programs Offered:

  • Tiny Hands (Ages 3–4)
  • Introduction to Art (Ages 5–6)
  • Beginning Art (Ages 7–8)
  • Art 1 (Ages 9+)

Tuition & Enrollment:

  • $159/month for weekly, instructor-led classes in a small group setting
  • $149 one-time art supply fee
  • $45 registration fee
