After School Art
Artists for Kids offers After School Art classes for students each Fall, Winter and Spring term.
Led by BC certified art specialist teachers and assisted by secondary art students, our classes provide the opportunity to build skills and foster creative growth within the visual arts. Students will have the opportunity to expand their artistic abilities in a multitude of different mediums, including painting, felting, printmaking, and sculpting.
Classes vary in duration, price, and medium. All art materials are included in the price of the program. See below for info and to register!
