ART AFTER SCHOOL  is an innovative program that builds creativity and community through exploration of age-appropriate art projects. Offered in blocks of six sessions per block, the program welcomes children and youth who are currently in grades 1 and above. No previous art experience is necessary. A variety of art projects are offered that challenge the participants to imagine, create, observe, and interact with one another. There is a small materials fee of $15 per child per six session block.

Sessions are held on Wednesday afternoon, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. in St. John's Church Parish Hall (entrance at end of driveway off Elm Street). 

Session Blocks for 2009 are:
Winter Block:  January 7 - February 11
Spring Block:  April 15 - May 20
Fall Block:  September 9 - October 14
