ARTeens is a Pay-What-You-Can Afterschool Program
for teens who love making art!
There are three entry/exit points for ARTeens each year:
fall, winter and spring.
Our Winter 2023 Session meets for 6 weeks on Tuesdays
from January 17 – February 28 (excluding the school vacation week.)
Applications will be accepted until the program is full.
Please email csartgarden@gmail.com if you are interested in applying.
ARTeens provides an opportunity for teens to cultivate an art practice. With an emphasis on personal responsibility and self-direction, teens explore and critique the world around them, develop their own voices, and share their ideas. ARTeens offers a sense of community while nurturing uniqueness and engagement in a diverse and non-judgmental group.
ARTeens is co-directed by artists Laura Iveson and Jane Beatrice Wegscheider.
ARTeens is a pay-what-you-can program. All contributions help make the program possible. The program costs $350 per session, but no one is ever turned away due to lack of funds.
ARTeens is also supported by the generosity of local community members and businesses, and The Art Garden. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Sounds like a terrific opportunity for area teens!
My two teenagers are really loving this! They immediately felt welcome and are creating some amazing artwork. Thank you!
Any weekend programs for teens?
Hi Andrea,
Currently we have drop-in art-making on Saturdays (1pm-5pm ) for all ages. Teens are always welcome to join us! When we have special programs we generally announce them via email, Facebook, and the home page of this website. If you would like to get on our email announcement list, please email me at csartgarden@gmail.com.
Thanks, Jane Beatrice
