fall program notes

In response to family feedback, we have made a few changes to our After School schedule, including two, shorter classes on Fridays for focused art time, rather than one longer class. These classes are designed for artists who are excited to take a deeper dive into art, but maybe do not want or need the longer 2 or 2.5 hour classes.

We have not changed the structure of our Monday-Thursday classes, and those still start with time for children to have snack, enjoy books solo or read to them by our teachers, and participate in open-ended art activities so they can decompress from school.

Students and teachers then come together for a meeting to start the activity of the day only after everyone has arrived and had time to settle in, usually closer to 3:45 or 4pm (we let the children guide the timing).

So if your child's school lets out later, they can still join the class and not miss anything, as long as they arrive by 3:45 or so.

Monday

studio to gallery

with Christie

Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders

Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm

Dates: 9/14/26 - 12/21/26

In this class we'll explore what it means to be an exhibiting artist! Students will learn about how artists put together a show, how curators design shows and gallery spaces, even how they install work! Students will of course also create their own works of art (we'll explore a variety of media, and students will choose which one they'll use for their displayed pieces). We'll partner with galleries around the neighborhood including 440 Gallery, and the class will culminate in an exhibit and artists' reception at Spoke the Hub, which will remain up for the month of January! This class will also include some walking field trips to local galleries.

Tuesday

prints, patterns and paint!

with Christie + Eleanore

Ages: K-1st Graders

Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm

Dates: 9/15/26 - 12/22/26

Come explore the magic of patterns and printmaking in art! In your day to day life you might see polka dotted socks on somebody sitting next to you on the train, teeny tiny stripes when you look closely at a leaf, and zig zags on the bottom of your sneakers. Patterns are all around us! In this class we'll create monoprints, collographs, block prints and more, layering our work with our paintings and drawings. We will get inspired by artists like Gustav Klimt, Lynne Drexler and Matthew Wong who used patterns as the foundation of their art practices, making an ordinary vase come alive, or a forest look like millions of dots.

wednesday

collections

with Sol

Ages: 1st-3rd Graders

Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm

Dates: 9/16/26 - 12/23/26

This class will focus on collections, both literally and metaphorically. In a literal sense, we will work with collage, make sculptures with collections of found objects, and build vessels to store our most treasured collections—wether they be memories or acorns. And, metaphorically, we’ll collect colors by doing paint mixing exercises, we’ll make painting series, and we’ll collect images from the world around us by doing a photography project. Join us on Wednesdays as we collect artistic experiences together! ​

School Pickup $168 ($12/class)

Thursday

paper arts

with Lu

Ages: 2nd-5th Graders

Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm

Dates: 9/10/26 - 12/17/26*

*No class 11/26 for Thanksgiving

This class will be taking a deep dive to explore the humble medium of paper!  Our friend of function, made from the earth. We will be exploring the art of refurbished paper, using recycled paper materials such as newspaper or found paper to make handmade paper sheets. We will be playing with engraving objects into our paper, making paper sculptures, paper masks, dying paper and working collectively to make loooong sheets of paper that wind themselves around the room. We will explore how paper can be molded, adorned, and utilized. In this class we will be inspired by artists such as Aimee Lee, Amanda Degener, Nnenna Okore, and more as we discover the many ways that paper is beautiful, holdable, and full of potential!

books,comics + Zines 

​with Sol

Ages: 2nd-5th Graders

Class Time: 4:30-5:30pm

Dates: 9/11/26 - 12/18/26*

*No class 11/27 for Thanksgiving

This class will focus on collaborative work and the power of imagination through a wide variety of media. Together, we'll paint murals of landscapes and cities and individually we'll make buildings and trees to populate them. We'll draw huge heads as a group and each of us will make different eyes, noses, or mouths for them. We will also dedicate some classes to our interests as individual artists as we explore the difference between being part of a group and working alone. We'll also make jigsaw puzzles, mosaics, and stamp patterns as we think about all the ways that individual pieces - and artists - come together to form a whole.
