Art for Kids
Enrichment for Future Emerging Artists

The School of Visual Arts Art for Kids Program provides quality and affordable art instruction to children in grades K to 9. These classes will enrich your student’s experience of art while exploring a wide variety of materials. Classes maintain a teacher–student ratio of one to fifteen and are taught by state-certified SVA art educators who are also, professional artists.

Request information at aroman@sva.edu to learn more about the art lessons for kids offered in SVA’s Continuing Education program.

Why ‘Art For Kids’ Stands Out:

  1. Foundations learning
