Minneapolis Public Schools

Join our arts & crafts creation class where you will build friendships and explore your creative side! This class is designed to bring out the big artists in our students! Our projects will help develop their artistic skills and experiment with a variety of materials. This class will offer a variety of art projects including painting, collages, drawing, and mixed media. Each activity provides your child with a hands-on creative experience and great work of art to take home. All artists are invited to join! Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
