Fall classes officially kicked off this week, and there’s still time to join the fun! New students can jump into our first session classes at a prorated rate, making it easy to find a class and get creating. We also have several creative opportunities for adults this week, plus Pizza & Paint on Saturday night for the kids. There’s something for everyone at the studio this week!
Fall Class Spotlight • STEAM Studio & The Lounge: Teen Open Studio
STEAM Studio | Wednesdays 1:00pm & 4:00pm | Ages 5-11
Calling all curious kids who love to build, experiment, and figure out how things work! In STEAM Studio, students tackle exciting hands-on challenges that combine science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Each new theme invites young innovators to test ideas, build prototypes, solve problems, and let their imaginations lead the way. It’s creative, a little messy, and packed with those “I figured it out!” moments.
The Lounge • Teen Open Studio | Fridays 2:30-4:30pm | Ages 5-11
Teens need a place to unwind, connect, and just be themselves, and The Lounge was created with that in mind! Every Friday afternoon, teens can make art, listen to music, grab a snack, and hang out with friends in a relaxed creative space. Try the featured project, bring your own idea, or simply come create with no art experience needed. Thanks to grant funding, it’s just $5 per teen, per session, with supplies and snacks included!
