March into culture and soak in the world!

That's right, our March holiday workshops are now open for sign ups... In the month of March, our holiday workshops are focused on giving our kids skills and knowledge through the Arts which stays with them forever. We want to inspire kids to apply what they have learned on their own - In the real world.

African Folk Art

Come examine African Art through the work of contemporary African artist Elisha Ongere. Experiment with geometry blended with an African theme— as you learn to use a visual language of shape, form, color, and line to create an exotic composition of the African people.

Older kids will learn to create their own rhythmic patterns through understanding the function of symbolism as a form of communication in both current and historical African cultures. Leave the literal behind and challenge your visual senses with this popular yet powerful style of art that makes Elisha Ongere’s artistry internationally acclaimed!

Ages: 4+, 7 and above

The Himalayas

Expand your palette by learning to paint with a (safe) knife!

Join us in this workshop where you will learn to create a realistic landscape of the highest mountain range in the world using impasto palette knife on canvas with acrylic colors. Learn techniques using a new medium to give your mountainous surface a unique sense of texture and add raw depth to your very first landscape painting.

Palette knives are seen as a sign of confidence in a painter; producing a range of effects from textured to flat colors. Children can learn to wield them with impasto paints, and when no-ones looking feel like Van Gogh!
