Why Kids Love Art Club

After a long day of school, our space nurtures children’s need to engage in self-driven creative play. Our processed-based approach focuses on the process of making and doing, exposes children to new materials and techniques and honors each child’s unique ideas and creativity. We encourage your child to express themselves freely and discover the joy of making art. Kids develop a connection with the teacher and space, exploring more materials and expanding their creative thinking over time. 

Registration Options

drop-in

While Art Club is typically full with families participating in the ongoing membership, we do welcome drop-ins for families looking to attend the occasional session as space permits. Click below to let us know when you’re interested in joining for a session and we’ll let you know if space is available!

membership

Reserve your spot and nurture your child’s creativity 1-4 days per week at a discounted rate with a monthly membership. This is the perfect option for families needing after school care for their little artists. Members also receive 20% all other programming and access to online resources for creating at home!

We begin our sessions with a snack and drawing prompt as everyone arrives and settles into the space. After a long day at school kids are typically anxious to get creating; many have already thought about what they want to make earlier in the day. After a quick daily meeting to share about our days, kids spread out throughout the studio to gather their supplies and begin creating. There's often a quiet buzz as the creative work takes place, and as kids get to know each other they collaborate to bring ideas to life. We maintain engagement by having a different focus each day with new materials, and introduce creative games, invitations to create and story read alouds depending on the interests of each group. And of course on Wednesdays we go on an outdoor art adventure and nature journal!

A Typical Day

Getting Here

We know your schedule might challenge your ability to get your child to Art Club! For families attending our neighborhood school, Elk Meadow Elementary, we provide a walking pickup Monday through Thursday. For families attending other schools, we provide a discount to parents that provide a ride for other children (non-sibling). Please reach out to us to find out if your school has an established carpool!
