Youth Programs: Young Artists

  • Youth
  • Summer
  • Session-I

Explore the Visual Arts! Experiment with different materials, learn new techniques, and express your creativity in exciting ways. Whether you’re a beginner or already love making art, this is your chance to create, have fun, and build confidence in your artistic abilities!

Grades 6 – 9

Dive into drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, and more in this hands-on middle school art program. Students will foster creativity, imagination, and individuality while also learning to collaborate with others. 

With a serious approach to art-making, students will develop core skills in drawing, painting (acrylic, tempera, watercolor), sculpture, and clay. Projects are inspired by both contemporary practices and works from the Neuberger Museum’s renowned collection. Group discussions and one-on-one guidance support each student’s unique creative journey.

The program culminates in a celebratory art exhibition, where family and friends are invited to view and honor the work created by our young artists.
