Y Clubs Art is a program for youth in grades K-2 and 3-5 that encourages them to develop their artistic side through age-appropriate activities that build their creative capabilities! Read what a session for each age group is like below:

K-2: Participants will take part in fun, hands-on activities with art projects that spark their imagination and help them develop their self-expression. Children will explore a variety of materials like crayons, paints and clay to assist them with the enrichment of their artistic capabilities and their fine motor skills. It's a supportive space where young artists can create, learn and have fun with friends!

3-5: Participants will engage in fun, hands-on experiences that will explore a wide variety of artistic techniques, including drawing, painting, sculpture and more! Each week, your child will dive into exciting projects to help them develop their skills, express their ideas, and discover new ways to create!
