Our youth classes are designed to tap into the joy of artistic exploration, provide the basics of art techniques, and encourage the development of young artists. Our teachers are artists themselves and love to bring out the natural creativity of young people. They are fun, supportive, and inspiring, guiding children in finding their self-expression. Please see the Publications page if you would like to print or download a program guide or see the Calendar page if you would like to see the classes in a traditional calendar format. The GAAC offers tuition assistance for its classes to those demonstrating need through the Ben & Ananda Bricker Scholarship Fund. The Amy L. Clark-Carels Memorial Fund generously supports our youth programming supplies.
