fall schedule changes
Based on feedback from families, we've made a few small changes to the timing and age ranges in our fall schedule:
Mondays: 2nd-5th Grade, 3:00 - 5:30pm
Tuesdays: K-1st Grade, 3:00 - 5:00pm
Wednesdays: 2nd-5th Grade, 3:00 - 5:30pm
Thursdays: K-1st Grade, 3:00 - 5:00pm
Fridays: K-1st Grade, 3:00 - 5:00pm
Please note, our hourly rate has stayed the same, but the fall semester is longer than the winter and spring, and we have lengthened all of our afterschool classes to offer more coverage for families.

This fall, join us for a class at the intersection of visual art and theater! We'll be learning about set design, props and scenic painting, looking at work by famous designers, and will partner with local favorite Brooklyn Acting Lab to create a few key props for their winter production of Alice in Wonderland! This will be a multi-media class, as students draw, paint and sculpt creating both 2D and 3D work - floorplans, models and more!

TUESDAYS
mixed media adventures
with christie + rosie*
Ages: K-1st Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 9/9/25 - 12/23/25
Join us this fall for a class that covers a multitude of media! We'll start with an investigation of 2D media - exploring different types of paint, the processes of printmaking and collage, and create dynamic drawings! We'll let student interests be our guide as we move into the second half of the class - maybe we’ll go 3D and make sculptures! Or work together to create giant collaborative drawings! We’ll see where our inspiration takes us!

WEDNESDAYS
creatures, characters + chronicles
with rosie*
Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm
Dates: 9/10/25 - 12/17/25
In this class we will invent and discover characters from the world around us and from our imaginations. We will practice drawing, painting and storytelling, finding details that bring our characters to life, by looking closely, asking questions and diving deep into our imaginations. Using fables, myths, snapshots and more to guide us, we will make art that tells a story, from comics, to storybooks, to paintings and beyond.

Ages: K - 1st Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 9/4/25 - 12/18/25*
*No class 11/27 for Thanksgiving Break
Layers of paint mixing together, layers of cardboard stacked to build, prints layered with rubbings, yarn, and tape. Layers that hide things away—hidden drawings in a book full of flaps—and layers that we can see through—transparent collages and acetate accordion books! We will spend our Thursdays drawing, painting, and building art that is as layered as the artists who make it.
$775
School Pickup $112

FRIDAYS
maker lab

Ages: K - 1st Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 9/5/25 - 12/19/25*
*No class 11/28 for Thanksgiving Break
Calling all art makers and shakers! Join us on Fridays to paint, tape, glue, build, sculpt, draw and tinker with everything from found objects to cardboard to fabric. We love the fact that paper and popsicle sticks may become a boat on a lake in the hands of one child and an abstract sculpture in the hands of another. This class is designed to encourage independent material explorations. The teachers will be ready to support and empower our young artists in their boundless creative pursuits.

Do you offer Drop In Classes?We do! We offer drop in options for any of our Early Childhood classes that are not full. Drop In registration opens the first day of the semester. Simply click here or on the "Drop In Class" button beside the class you are interested in to register. The class fee includes one adult and one child. You can register for as many drop in classes as you like, there is no limit. We cannot accommodate refunds or credits for missed drop-in classes at this time. Advanced registration for drop in classes is required, we cannot accommodate drop-ins at the door/at the time of class.
-
What if my child misses a class?We are not able to offer refunds for missed classes unless we cancel a class. Each enrolled family can schedule 2 makeup classes per semester. If you enroll in a class, you'll be given instructions for how to schedule a makeup, should you miss a class. Makeups are permitted as space allows and are on a first come, first served basis. Makeups must be scheduled for the same semester in which you are enrolled. They do not carry over to future semesters. Drop-in classes are not eligible for makeups, credit, or refunds.
-
Does a grownup have to attend classes with my child?For our Early Childhood Classes (ages 1.5-5) we do ask that a grownup stay with your child for the duration of class. Our teachers lead each session, but having the child's grownup stay not only helps the child feel comfortable, it also offers adults tools and techniques for continuing art experiences at home.
-
What is your cancellation policy?We understand that sometimes things come up that make it no longer possible for your child to attend class with us. But we ask that you also understand that late cancellations mean we are unlikely to be able to fill the space in the class, but have already made arrangements for staff and materials. We cannot accommodate refunds or credits for missed drop-in classes at this time. You have two options for cancellation of semester-long classes: Option 1: More than 4 weeks prior to the first class? You can receive credit for the full class minus a $75 cancellation fee. Less than 4 weeks prior to the first class but more than 1 week? You can receive 50% credit for the class minus a $75 cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than one week prior to the start of class are not eligible for credit. Option 2: If it's more than one week prior to the start of class and we are able to fill your spot from the waitlist (if there is one), we will refund you the cost of the class minus a $75 cancellation fee. We cannot give refunds less than one week prior to the start of class. Please note that we only offer full (100%) refunds for a class if WE cancel the class. We are also unable to offer refunds for days or classes missed due to illness or travel. Two makeup classes per semester are available for all of our Early Childhood classes. Drop-in classes are not eligible for credit or refunds.
-
How do the semesters work?With the goal of creating classes that are at different price points and therefore accessible to more families, we split the semester into two parts: Semester A and Semester B. You can register for just one, or both (register for both at the same time for a discount!).
-
Can I bring my child's sibling if they are outside the age group?Possibly! We want to work with families to create a meaningful art experience for everyone attending our classes. So if you would like to bring a child's sibling who is outside the age group listed in the description, please just email us: info@theartannexbrooklyn.com. If they are within the age group, please just sign them up for a drop in that day.
-
Do you offer discounts or scholarships?We fundamentally believe that people of all ages deserve access to high quality arts programming. If you or your child would like to attend one of our classes but cannot for financial reasons, please contact us at info@theartannexbrooklyn.com. We also offer a refer-a-friend credit! For every friend you refer to The Art Annex who registers for a class, we'll add a $20 credit to your account as a thank you. Just make sure your friend writes your name in the "how did you hear about us" section when they register. There is no limit to the number of friend credit you can earn, and credit with us does not expire.
