This program provides afterschool care for students in grades K-5, while also providing quality art instruction by local teaching artists. Students will participate in two art classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, in which they will explore in-depth techniques in a variety of mediums. Some examples include Creative Drama, African Drumming, Printmaking, and Ceramics. These classes rotate every month.
