Description
Looking for a creative outlet for your little ones this summer break? Come try out new mediums and make fun, colorful artwork! Either for one class or as many as your heart desires, children aged 3 to 11 will create various artworks and take them home to hang on the wall or add to growing piles of works. Due to the large age range, participants are offered two variations of the same project, differing in difficulty. All materials included, thanks to donations from the Reno Community Art Closet.
Children aged 5 and under are required to have a chaperone aged 12 or older to participate.
Are you interested in having a child participate in the Kids Summer Art Series at Nevada Fine Arts but require financial support to do so? Partial and full scholarships may be available! Discounts for multiple children (I.e., siblings) may also be available. Requests for scholarships will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to available funds.
