Join Weehawken for inspiring art classes designed to spark imagination, build skills, and boost confidence in young artists! Each week, students will explore an exciting theme while experimenting with a wide range of materials and techniques. Drawing inspiration from well-known artists and design styles, young artists will be supported in discovering their own unique creative voice in a fun, nurturing, studio-like setting. These classes are designed to foster a love of the arts through hands-on exploration, age-appropriate projects, and a focus on the joy of the creative process. Please note: We may adjust or adapt art projects as needed to best accommodate the group’s interests, and skill levels. 2025 FALL SEMESTER SCHEDULE: Wednesdays, 3:15–4:45pm Cora Annex, 145N Cora St, Ridgway Session 1 (4 weeks • $85): September 10 – October 1 Session 2 (5 weeks • $100): October 15 – November 12 Session 3 (3 weeks • $70): December 3 – 17 Sign up for multiple sessions and receive $10 off each session!
