Art After School
The Art Base offers free Art After School classes for elementary students on most Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the school year. Through these engaging after-school art classes, students will be encouraged to explore creativity through fun, hands-on projects designed for discovery and growth.
Students will experiment with exciting art materials and techniques, develop original ideas through imagination, and learn to confidently express themselves through visual art. Along the way, they build creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of art.
Join us and make art an adventure!
Looking for more ways for your child to express themselves through art? Explore our Summer Art Camps offered every June through August.
Mondays: Youth Art Academy (Mosaics)
Special Limited-Enrollment Art After School Class

Young artists will design and create their own colorful mosaic tray in this fun, hands-on three-part series. This class is made for older students who want to stretch their art skills. Using pre-cut glass and ceramic tiles (no glass cutting required), students explore pattern, color, and texture while learning the fundamentals of mosaic art.
Over three sessions, kids will:
-
First, plan and sketch their tray design.
-
Then, arrange and glue pre-cut tiles onto a wooden tray base.
-
Finally, safely apply grout and polish the finished piece.
With step-by-step guidance and plenty of creative freedom, each student will build a vibrant, functional mosaic tray to take home or gift. Along the way, the class encourages creativity, patience, and craftsmanship in a supportive classroom.
All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed. This is a perfect opportunity for students to learn, explore, and have fun creating.
Tuesdays: FREE ART AFTER SCHOOL

Our after-school art classes for elementary students provide a fun and welcoming space. Kids can explore their creativity and imagination.
Through hands-on art projects, students experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media. They also learn foundational art skills.
These kids’ art classes focus on creativity, curiosity, and self-expression rather than perfection. This helps young artists build confidence and enjoy the creative process.
In a supportive and encouraging environment, students make new friends, try new materials, and discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.

We’re excited to continue offering this free opportunity, and we greatly appreciate your support as we work to make it accessible to as many families as possible.
Debido a una abrumadora demanda por nuestras clases gratuitas de arte los martes después de escuela (3:30-5:00 pm), estaremos implementando un sistema de lotería para asegurar un acceso justo a todos los estudiantes.
- Así es como funcionará: Envía la información de tu hijo(a) llenando la forma que encontrarás en el enlace de abajo.
- El día 15 de cada mes, sortearemos nombres aleatoriamente para las clases de los meses siguientes.
- Las familias serán notificadas por correo electrónico, el cual incluirá un enlace para el registro.
Después de participar en una ocasión, los estudiantes deberán esperar hasta el siguiente semestre antes de entrar nuevamente, de esta forma más niños y niñas tendrán la oportunidad de participar.
Para participar en la lotería, por favor completa la forma antes del 12 de septiembre a las 5:00 pm. (Solo se necesita un registro por niño(a) cada semestre).
Estamos emocionados de continuar ofreciendo esta oportunidad gratuita y apreciamos sinceramente tu apoyo mientras trabajamos en hacerlo accesible para tantas familias como sea posible.
