We Believe in Keeping Art Accessible to All!
Sliding scale pricing scholarships are available for all of our programs!
Email our Education Manager, Clara-Liis Hillier, to submit a Scholarship Narrative. Scholarships are open for both Youth & Adult classes and camps. All we ask is for the student/parent to share the need for the scholarship and tell us what having the opportunity to take the class/camp will mean to them!
For Art Camps: Please submit a Scholarship Narrative via email. Scholarships will be awarded in late February for Spring Break Camp and in late May for Summer Camps. We work very hard to honor all needs.
Nominate Someone! Know of an incredible person (youth or adult) that is searching for the perfect class to take - ceramics, painting, cooking, writing, or theatre and could use a scholarship to help them embrace this experience? Nominate them by emailing us!
