September special: Customize your class schedule!

We know that the first month of school can be hectic – especially in terms of student schedules. So for the month of September we are offering single-day classes. This allows you to sign up a student for any portion of the course, regardless of whether it already has started.

The fees for ceramics and modern art classes are $12.50 per class. The fees for cartoon drawing and painting classes are $10.00 per class.

Daily fees include the cost of supplies.

September class schedule has been posted

In addition to our exciting new After School Art program (see details below), we’ve posted our September schedule. Just click on the “upcoming classes” link above.

After School Art program begins in September
