Is there a mini-Michelangelo or a preteen Picasso living in your house? The best way to find out is by registering your son or daughter in Youth and Teen classes and workshops held at Columbia Art Center.

Whether they decide to work with clay or canvas, explore portraiture or printmaking, these classes are the perfect outlet for self-expression and creativity. Kids ages 6 -17 are welcome to participate, and the times for Youth and Teen classes work well with school schedules.

Studies have shown that children of all ages can benefit by participating in art programs. So have your child skip a little screen time… and create something beautiful.
