I’m excited to offer 3 weeks of art classes (May 27-June 13). All of the art projects are inspired by our “field trip” plans this summer. We hope your artist will join us on our road trip!

I’m always trying to figure out the best way to organize family life with art…

Here are a few things that are new this year:

-Three different age groups (this matches the needs and abilities of my own kiddos better)

-No art camp days and all sessions are either 2 or 4 classes each

-No snacks for the youngest group (sorry, too many students with food allergies)

-New format for art shows (see description under art show)

-THE BIGGEST CHANGE is a new registration form at the bottom of my blog. You will need to fill this form out to register (submit one form per student). Include your email address in the comments, if this is the first time you have taken classes with me or if your email has changed.

Please email me or post a comment on the bottom of this page, if you have any questions

Art Shows
Friday, June 13 6:30-8:00 pm (with art pick up on Saturday, Jun 14)*

My kids love the art shows! It’s so fun to have your hard work displayed and admired. 

- Friends and family are welcome. 

- Art shows are a come and go event where each student gets to decorate an art folder and see their art displayed.

- If you are not able to attend the art show, your artist will take their art home at the end of the session instead of after the show.

*New format this year: All the art will be displayed on June 13th. After the show, Miss Arabeth will place the art in each child’s folder. Then on Saturday, June 14, you will need to come and pick up the art at Miss Arabeth’s home. 

Summer Art Fun classes coming soon! I'm hoping to have the schedule available the week of March 24th. 
=)Arabeth

Update: I've been delayed a bit, but hoping to have the summer schedule up this week. Stay tuned...
