ABOUT ART SPACE
We offer classes tailored to specific age groups:
- Ages 8–10 – Big imaginations and still think glitter is currency.
- Ages 11–14 – Independent thinkers, but no X-Acto knives… yet.
- Adults – Yes, you! It’s never too late to get your hands messy in the name of art.
Got a younger kid who’s itching to join? We’d love to have them—with an adult sidekick. Reach out and we’ll see what’s possible.
