At Art Makers Outpost youth immerse themselves in eco-conscious Free Form art making.
Through our unique free-form art making approach your child will have the opportunity to make anything they can imagine.
In our regular after-school programs — Monday and Wednesday — there will be a creative demo each day by our artist facilitators that will give your young artist the opportunity to learn and try something new. Demos may include: imaginative & whimsical creature creation, wearable art, abstract sculptures, 2-D design, paper-mache, fashion design, print making, sewing techniques, clothing design, wood working projects, mosaics & tiling, glitterizing, painting techniques, jewelry making, creative wall art, 3D design, lights and shadows, projects using paint, adhesives, tools, various surfaces, wire, glass, wood, clay, plastics, rubber, metal and SO MUCH MORE!
During our Tuesday program, as always whenever your child is at Art Makers Outpost, they are free to create whatever they can imagine- HOWEVER, the demos each day will go more in-depth on all things fashion, jewelry, decor, wearables, masks and more! Our skilled artist facilitators will pull speciality material and introduce special techniques.
Our Thursday Youth Entrepreneur Intensive will help young artists of all levels build or grow their businesses. Mentor Artists in the industry will introduce branding, marketing, production and more! The intensive ends with a Makers Market where 25% of earnings supports Community Fridges and 75% goes back to the artist.
Our young art makers are encouraged to lead the way as our professional artist facilitators demonstrate new techniques using a wide variety of recycled items and art materials. Throughout the course our facilitators will be encouraging awareness of material usage, emphasizing reuse, and teaching new art making techniques. Your child will learn new techniques and have the opportunity to create ANYTHING they can imagine!
