Summer and Vacation Programs
Add creativity to your mix! Offer your community a Summer program that teaches children art concepts, like sculpting and painting, but also challenges them to use these techniques to solve real-world problems. Give kids the chance to explore art as a career path, and build their confidence as they create one-of-a-kind projects based on their own understanding of the different class themes.
