Open Enrollment

SPRING SESSION: APRIL 1st TO JUNE 14th, 2024

Classes are 1 hour and meet once a week. Our "College for Kids" curriculum means that students are introduced to methods and materials inspired by college courses and taught by instructors who are practicing artists within our community. Our projects are based in art history and children's literature; we use fine arts materials and incorporate local field trips when possible. Classes are mixed ages and we work to group students together according to age and ability to be sure students have at least one peer in class.

PLEASE NOTE: We follow the Portland public school’s snow cancelations. If Portland public schools are closed, we are closed.
