After-School Art Club

Our After-School Art Club connects students with local, professional artists who inspire us to aspire to a life in the arts.

2025-26 Schools:

Ella Lewis Elementary

Charles M Sumner Middle School

  • Wooden Bird Carving and Painting

  • Pottery Wheel and Handbuilding in Clay

  • Acrobatics and Parkour

  • Stone Sculpture

  • Wet and Needle Felting
