Open Studio
YOUTH ART OPEN STUDIO 2020
When: Every Wednesday afternoon after school. 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm
Cost: $2 each week
Ages: 6 to 14 years (parent/guardian are required to stay with child). Younger children need to be very motivated to learn new skills and have a genuine love of art. Children aged 6 and 7 must have an adult to sit with them to keep them focused on the activity.
DON’T MISS OUT - PLACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED AND IN HIGH DEMAND. IT IS PREFERRED THAT CHILDEN ATTEND FOR A FULL TERM (8 CLASSES).
We prefer that children attend every class so that we can work on developing their skills and opportunities to express ideas. We do, however, understand if other commitments mean they have to skip a week or two. Let us know in advance if your child cannot attend so we don't prepare materials for them.

Support of $4000 a year would help us reach double the number of students in a year.
