At ArtsConnect, we encourage children to explore their creativity independently to foster confidence and original thinking.

During class, we invite you to enjoy our complimentary coffee and tea, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable seating areas indoors and outdoors. If there are special circumstances that require your presence, please reach out to our Education Director beforehand.
