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.
