after school art classes

12 Week Fall Session: Every Tuesday, September 2 - November 18, 2025.

Join us for GDAC’s After School Art Class! If your child is looking for creative enrichment outside of the traditional classroom setting, this 12 week course is for them. Throughout the course students will be inspired by art history, be introduced to new skills in both 2D and 3D mediums, tour current art exhibitions on display at the GDAC, develop their own artistic voice, and create beautiful works of art while exploring real life themes!

Family and friends are invited to join us for a special art exhibition on November 18th from 3:30-5:30pm where students will be able to show what they have created and the new skills they have learned! 

Two sessions will take place throughout the week for two age groups: Kindergarten to 2nd and 3rd to 6th grade. Each age group is limited to 15 students. See below for more class details and how to register.
