For Kids
Artventures
Artventures is an after-school arts mentorship program for students in 2nd through 6th Grade, hosted at Intersect Arts Center. Teaming up with 2 to 3 other students, youth will be matched with an adult Artist Mentor in areas such as painting, drawing, ceramics, fashion, sculpture, and photography.
Two days a week (either Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs) from 3:30-5:00pm, Artist Mentors will lead young artists through explorations of their focus area to help them discover their own unique and creative voice! The Artist Mentor will also serve as a support for young artists by offering homework help, a listening ear, and serving as a role model for children to creatively express themselves.

First Saturday of the Month | 10am - 12pm
This family-friendly workshop is designed for both children and adults to create together, making it a unique bonding experience. The workshop will take place on the first Saturday of each month and will feature a different theme or activity each time. The specific focus of the class will vary month-to-month, allowing families to explore different ceramics techniques and projects.
The instructor will select the monthly theme or activity, ensuring that it is fun, engaging, and accessible for both children and adults. Themes may range from hand-building techniques, such as pinch pots or coil-building, to sculptural projects or decorative pottery. The goal is to foster creativity, provide hands-on learning, and encourage family collaboration in the artistic process.
