The Young Artist Studio
opens on August 29th!
Free hands-on workshops for youth ages 11-21
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30-5:30 pm (New days and times)
An inclusive and diverse community, we welcome youth from throughout the metro area who are interested in learning a variety of media and exploring contemporary themes through art. In the Studio we practice the skills and self-efficacy of creative leaders and encourage each other to make great original work. Exhibitions at the CVA inspire the themes, media and cultures explored in the workshops.
