creativity to your child’s day. We offer classes for children as young as 3 years old and have designed classes and workshops for all of the unique stages of your child’s growth and development. Choose from classes that meet weekly for 6-8 weeks or workshops that meet
just once, either will add color and fun to your child’s life. Art, we need it now more than ever.
