Our Pre-K Make It, Take It class is a hands-on, creative learning experience designed for curious little minds! Each session invites preschoolers to explore art, crafts, and simple projects they can proudly take home. Activities are tailored to strengthen fine motor skills, spark imagination, and reinforce early learning concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.

Children will:

Create fun, age-appropriate crafts using safe, easy-to-handle materials.

Learn through themed projects that connect to stories, seasons, or special events.

Open Studio classes give us the opportunity to render things in their true character, unlimited by mediums and the public gaze, all in the atmosphere and presence of other creatives.  Sign up for all 6 sessions here! 

An artist will over see the class to assist students as needed.  Our supplies are available to all participants and students are welcome to bring their own or a project they are working on as well. 

Learn to draw the human form accurately and expressively. Students will learn tech-niques to translate the model’s proportions and pose onto paper, emphasizing the under-lying structure as well as the details of the figure. This work shop series will have nude models.

Pro for a Day Concert is a unique youth arts experience that connects students with working professional artists through live performance, hands-on training, mentorship, and a public showcase. Designed to inspire confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging, this immersive program offers students behind-the-scenes access to the music industry while schools are closed.

Participants will attend a free Schools Out, Arts In concert performed by professional artists, observe a live soundcheck, and engage in meaningful conversations about artistic careers and industry practices. Students will then take part in a full-day, conference-style experience featuring small-group breakout sessions focused on artistic identity and branding, performance technique and industry etiquette, and creative development.

Throughout the program, students receive personalized coaching on a piece they will perform alongside professional artists in a Community Talent Showcase on Saturday. The experience concludes with a public performance and reception, celebrating student growth and creative achievement.

This program is ideal for young performers looking to deepen their artistic skills, gain real-world insight into creative careers, and experience what it’s like to be a professional artist—for a day.
