Youth Fine Arts

The Youth Fine Arts Program (YFA) offers a range of classes in a variety of media and disciplines designed to excite and develop the artistic vision and creative talents of youth, ages 3-18. YFA classes spark the imagination, teach technical skills, promote creative problem-solving, build respect for the expression of others, and inspire a life long connection to the visual arts and art making. Classes are taught by accomplished practicing artist-instructors in a relaxed environment that encourages exploration of process and self-expression. Class offerings cover a range of media including ceramics, digital arts, drawing, painting, and more. Class sizes are limited to twelve students, allowing for attention to individual interests and skill development.

In addition to classes after school and weekends during the school year, YFA offers fun and enriching classes and camps all summer long. Family Workshops and parent/child classes give children and parents quality time together by exploring a variety of art making techniques and an appreciation for arts around the world.

Youth classes meet in the main building at 2603 Sheridan Road, unless noted otherwise.
