About our Youth Arts programs...
Unlock your child's creative potential with HopeCAT's free after-school Youth Arts programs for grades 3-12. Designed to ignite imagination and foster personal growth, our program brings together students from various school districts to explore the world of art through a rich, structured curriculum. Here, mentorship and creativity go hand-in-hand, offering an engaging way to enhance education.
Students in grades 3-6 are welcomed from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM to experience our rotating studio sessions. They'll build foundational skills in each art form, preparing them for Open Studios—an exclusive opportunity for grades 7-12.
Open Studios, held from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM, offer older students the freedom to explore their artistic passions. With access to all studio spaces, this self-led time allows them to dive into their projects while Arts Program Coordinators are on hand for guidance when needed.
At HopeCAT, we’re committed to nurturing creativity year-round. If you're a student in grades 3-12 and can make it to our center, you're invited to join us for this exciting artistic journey.
