For Children: After-school Art Programs |
|
||
|
Now your child can join a world-renowned artist for after-school fun with art! All classes in each ten-week after-school art course are held at the Manhattan studio of prolific artist and author Robert Quackenbush, whose artwork has been exhibited world-wide (with inclusions in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution and the Whitney Museum). Enrollment is limited to a maximum of eight children per class; as a result, to avoid disappointment, early registration is strongly suggested. As classes are small and places therein are reserved, makeups cannot be offered for any missed sessions. |

the class, the workshop may include a talk with a visiting
editor and trips to a publisher or a relevant local
exhibit. |
