Description: 

We offer children and youth art classes because there’s no therapy like art. Art allows them to imagine new possibilities, to embark on a personal journey of self‐discovery and to develop into creative problem solvers in their own, unique way.

We encourage every child to express him- or herself freely through paint, clay, music, and movement. Professional teachers assess and evaluate the progress of students and strive to maximize the positive impact of the classes on their lives.
