Youth Studio

At the heart of Youth Studio is the belief that art is a universal language, one that transcends barriers and empowers youth ages 5–18, with and without disabilities, to express themselves authentically. Through guided creative instruction, participants explore their creativity, connect with others, and strengthen emotional and behavioral well-being. 

Youth Studio will run in 6 week sessions (fall, winter/spring, and summer). Each session will include the following: snack, demonstrations and discussions, and art making! Please note our art making format has transitioned to guided creative instruction. Each week an art form and/or artists will be introduced to participants to inspire creativity and skill development.  

Please see below for the dates of our spring and summer sessions. Participants can register for two sessions at a time.
