Fall 2026 Art Semester 

We just wrapped up another amazing semester of Art and are getting ready to start up Summer Art Classes and Camps! May is my month of getting summer camp supplies together and the lesson plans ready for the Fall semester. The schedule and enrollment for Fall will be available starting May 15th, 2026. There will be a wonderful selection of Homeschool, Family, Kids, and Teen art classes and I am thinking about adding an Adult After Hours art class as well (when the store is closed and all is calm on the indoor playground.) Stay tuned!

Artists enjoy exciting kid approved themes in a fun and creative environment as they discover, play, and learn fine art techniques while making wall worthy masterpieces with paint on canvas and wood, create with clay, design mosaics, 3D printing, and other mixed media materials. Seats are limited and do sell out each year!
​
​ Kids can sign up for multiple events for an immersive Art experience! (If attending a morning and afternoon session, bring a nut-free lunch) Please select a tab for Summer 2026 Art Camp & Fun Friday class info and to enroll:
