We help children gain key art skills, increase self-esteem as they build new skills, and deepen connections to their talent and technique. Each week will cover a different theme; for example a famous artist, space, fairy tales, fantasy characters, and more.
Pick-up for our art classes is available from Squamish Elementary & GHE through our after-school program.

ART CLASSES

At Happimess, we believe that art is not just fun — it's essential to children’s development.

Our art classes offer a supportive, nurturing environment where kids can:

  • Explore their creativity

  • Build new skills

  • Grow their self-esteem

Monthly Themes

Each month, we introduce a fresh theme to inspire young artists. Past themes have included:

  • Famous artists

  • Outer space

  • Fairy tales

  • Fantasy characters

  • And much more!

Our talented instructors guide students through a variety of mediums and techniques, helping them:

  • Express themselves in new ways

  • Build confidence in their abilities

  • Deepen their connection to their unique talents

We also understand that convenience is key for busy families, which is why we offer a pick-up from schools through our after-school program.

We also offer private art classes tailored to individual learners — including direct billing to online learning schools (OLs).
