About The Studio
Join an art club that meets once a month for tweens and teens. The goal of the club is to bring together the artistic youth of our community and create an enriching space for sharing, learning, and creating art! The Studio is a non-judgmental and anti-anxiety environment aimed at nurturing the younger generation into confident artists. Meetings will include a variety of opportunities for participants including painting, drawing, sculpture and many other forms of art. The Studio is free to join but don’t worry if you can’t make every Studio event, come when you can! Please register your attendance for each session.
