OLD FIREHOUSE ART CENTER
exhibits education outreach
FREE* (with membership) bi-monthly art class for kids approximately between the ages of 5-12 every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each
"I love the OFAC art program for children. I have noticed an improvement in the artistic ability and confidence in my child. She is being taught about different artists, the use of color, and different art techniques. I highly recommend this program. I am a fan of any program that teaches kids to appreciate art." – Anna Liberatore
Projects are fun and educational with an emphasis on the use of recycled materials, environmental preservation and “thinking outside the box” creativity. The program promotes positive developmental assets so kids grow up to be caring, responsible adults.
All classes are taught by Kim Browne unless otherwise noted.
*Cost: FREE for families with a paid membership to the Old Firehouse
Family Memberships start at $60 per year and are good for the whole family.
