Youth Art Program— Art Advetures

About Art Adventures

Our youth art classes, available for kids ages 6–11, encourage young artists to explore while giving them the foundational skills they need to make their artistic ideas come to life. 

We offer space for creating that is fun, non-competitive, and non-outcome based so that kids can truly experience the full range of artistic creation.

Your young artist will be encouraged to expand their imagination and follow their inspiration. In addition to the instructional focus of their specific class, we provide your child with art supplies, materials, and support to artistically go wherever their creativity leads them!
