Is Summer Art Lab a Good Fit?

Summer Art Lab is designed for children who enjoy creating, experimenting, listening to instruction, and working respectfully in a shared studio environment.

This program is best for children who are curious, engaged, and excited to participate in hands-on art experiences.

Because projects build from day to day, regular attendance is encouraged.

Arrival and Pick Up
For everyone’s safety, an adult must come inside to sign children in and sign them out each day. This is not a curbside drop-off program.

Independent Participation
This is an enrichment studio, not childcare. Children should be comfortable participating in a structured creative group setting.

Readiness Matters
Please enroll only if your child has genuine interest in art making and is able to work cooperatively in a group studio environment.

This is a joyful, working studio, not a drop-in play program.
