The AIT program is an after-school art club for students in grades 6-12. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of media while working at their own pace. By learning some of the techniques used by artists, they will train to become better at their own art making. These classes are perfect for both beginners and students who already make lots of art! The collaborative environment in our studio allows students to forge friendships, build self-confidence, and experience new perspectives while making art. Students can opt to attend one day per week, two days, or all sessions. Students are welcome to join at any point in the year. Classes are $15 for members or $30 non-members. 5 class and 10 class passes available.
