Art Adventures

Summer is finally here, and we are excited for the start of our summer youth art program, Art Adventures! This year’s Art Adventures will run from Wednesday, July 3rd until Thursday, August 22nd, featuring eight weekly 2-hour-long classes for children ages 6–8 and 9–11.

Our program offers a fun, non-competitive, and non-outcome-based space where kids can explore and develop foundational artistic skills, fostering imagination and inspiration. We are thrilled to have Carson Thorson, licensed K-12 art teacher, return to lead this program once again this year!

Finding the right words to express what has always been there but is only now being fully realized.
