Goal: Make arts education more accessible to children and adults.
We care so much about Arts Education because we care about people. Arts education plays a major role in human development. According to research published by Americans for the Arts, arts education can help develop imagination, cognitive skills, critical/analytical thinking, language, social skills, focus, listening, sense of time and place, tolerance and more.
Learning is life-long. We offer opportunities to children and adults who want to learn more about art/life/themselves through the hand-on experiences of producing art in various media including but not limited to 2 & 3-dimensional design, jewelry, quilting, sculpture, drawing, pottery, printmaking, painting, phototgraphy, collage and graphics.
