Overview
Our goal is to provide
quality art educational activities for young people so that
they might grow as artists, students and individuals. Classes
include instruction in the use of art materials and techniques
and emphasize learning from art history. Students have access
to our art library with books on a diverse range of artists
and art movements. Our emphasis is always on the process, not
the product, as we want kids to feel free to experiment and
create.
Enrollment
To enroll your child, please fill out the appropriate enrollment
form and mail it to the address listed at the top right on the
form. Class sizes are limited with enrollment on a first-come
first-serve basis. To guarantee a place in a class, tuition
must be paid at the time of enrollment. Tuition is Non-Refundable
unless cancelled by the parent at least one week prior to the
start of class. In the event a class is cancelled by Arts Visalia,
a full refund will be given.
Financial Assistance Scholarships
Full and partial scholarships are available to help cover tuition
costs. If you know a child who would benefit from one of these
scholarships, please contact us.
Membership Discounts
Members of Arts Visalia receive a discount on all classes. See
our Membership Page, give us a call, or stop by the gallery for information on becoming a supporting
member of Arts Visalia.
Sponsoring a Student
If you know a child who you would like to sponsor for an art
class or if you would like to provide a scholarship for a child
we select, please contact us. Your generosity can make a significant
impact on a young person who may otherwise be unable to participate
in our programs.
Gift Certificates
Looking for a special gift for a child? A gift certificate for
one of our children’s art classes is a perfect way to
give a child more than a toy. Contact us for more information.
Summer Art Program
Each summer, Arts Visalia’s children’s art program
expands into a seven week series of summer art camps, with new
offerings each week. Through daily engagement, students are
able to focus their creative abilities into ambitious projects
of surprising results.
Young-At-Art Exhibition
The hard work of the summer art classes culminates in our annual
Young at Art exhibition, where we will feature artworks by each
and every student who participates in the summer program. Held
in the month of August, each Young at Art exhibition is one
of the year’s most enjoyable exhibitions. Students, along
their families and friends, have the opportunity to see their
artistic creations presented in professional gallery setting
