Art a la Carte offers children the opportunity to experience multiple types of art-making at our studios. This program offers two weeks of half-day, one-week classes in the morning and the afternoon, giving families the flexibility of half or full-day, and one or two weeks. Students registered for a full-day experience will be supervised for lunch and free time between classes. Half-day students can stay during lunch for an additional fee here. Students must bring their own food.
Tuition includes all materials needed for the program. There is the option to pay in full or take advantage of a payment plan. Our Summer Programs Cancellation Policy can be found here.

Please put yourself on the waiting list. We were able to accommodate many of the children from the wait list last year.
Classes for rising 2nd-4th graders are:
Week 1 morning: upcycled sculptures
BEASTLY BIOME BUILDERS with Kate Daley
Create shelters on land, homes underwater, and nests up in the trees! In this class, we will design and construct dwellings inspired by builders from the animal world. Think about the colorful nests of bowerbirds, multi-room beaver lodges, and intricate bee hives. Considering the resources of different natural environments, we will ponder why animals build the way they do. We can learn from them to create structures with purpose and beauty. Experimentation with size and materials is encouraged. Build up, down, and sideways with natural and recycled materials.
Week 1 afternoon: drawing
EYEBALLING IT with TBD
Learn how to take what you see and turn it into a drawing! In this class we will be sharpening our observation skills along with our pencils through blind contour drawing, negative space drawing, and more. We will draw outside occasionally when the weather cooperates.
Week 2 morning: mixed media
FLOWER POWER with Candace Winter
Inspired by the groovy graphics and awesome art of the 1960s, students will be creating mixed media art using a variety of textures, colors, and materials including painted paper, yarn, textiles, and more.
Week 2 afternoon: cartooning
DRAWING CHARACTERS with Ed Murr
Learn the basics of drawing cartoon characters! Using shapes as a foundation, students will experiment with creating their own characters for comics. Attention to beginning technique will be given while fostering students' creativity and character ideas!
We believe art should be accessible to all. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. Use this link to apply on 11:00am on March 29.
