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.
