Art is for everyone

Beginning a Lifetime of Learning

You want to give your children every possible advantage in life, and you may be surprised at just how much good can be done with art classes for kids!

In Lawrence, our team works hard every day to bring the beauty of art and creativity to your child’s life, helping them develop socially and emotionally while making art-minded friends.

To ensure our courses are accessible to all, there are financial aid options available, so don’t let cost hold you back from letting your child explore the visual arts!
