At the moment, my classes are all FULL!  Please still email me to be added to a wait list or to let me know which sessions your artist is interested in (a contact form is at the bottom of this page).

Art Show

Art Show
Saturday, June 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm

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, see their art displayed, and enjoy refreshments.

- If you are not able to attend the art show, please let me know so your artist can take their art home at the end of the session instead of at the show.
