Art Education for Kids of all ages
2nd - 4th Grade Students
Help your 2nd - 4th graders dig deeper and learn more about various art forms.
We’re still fleshing out the full schedule of teachers, but we’re hoping to dive into drawing, color mixing with acrylics, water colors, and paper or polymer clay. More details to come.
$80 for the four week session. Scholarships available.
Middle & High Schoolers
Starting on September 26, 2024, The Crossing Arts will host an After School Open Studio / Art Club for middle and high school students on Thursdays*.
Each week youth will engage with different medias, sometimes continuing work on a past project, sometimes digging into something new.
4:00 - 5:30 on most Thursdays* at The Crossing Arts.
*No School, No Studio Night*
A $10 donation per participant is appreciated but not required. Donations keep this program accessible to everyone!
Last Saturday Kids Studio
The Crossing Arts hosts an Open Kids Studio, almost always on the Last Saturday of the month (unless there is a scheduling conflict, like in October this year).
These projects are open to youth of all ages, though they are often simpler projects geared toward younger children.
A guardian is required to stay.
A suggested donation of $5.00 per participant is appreciated to support our youth programming.
Second Saturday Creativity Kit Giveaways!
Come on in every Second Saturday of the month to pick up a free Creativity Kit!
Each month features a different project, including all supplies and instructions. These kits are for people of all ages and abilities.
Creativity Kits are free, though donations are very much appreciated!
If you’d like to sponsor a Creativity Kit, please email us to learn more.
