Art Classes for Children: Open to youth aged 6–18, these classes invite young artists to explore a range of mediums and techniques. Each class offers skill-building along with personal expression in a supportive environment.
What to Expect:
In both individual and group sessions, participants are encouraged to engage with art as a tool for self-discovery.
