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. Teens can participate in one, two or all three sessions.
We are now in our 7-week Fall 2018 session, with two ARTeens’ groups meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the week of December 13th.
Our 6-week Winter 2019 session will meet on Tuesdays
from January 15 – February 26. Applications will be available in December.
ARTeens provides an opportunity for teens to cultivate an art practice in The Art Garden’s supportive, intergenerational studio. 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. Families are expected to contribute. Every contribution helps make the program possible! No one is ever turned away for lack of funds. Please download our Family Contribution Chart below or call if you have questions about our pay-what-you-can approach.
The 2018-2019 ARTeens program will be supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s YouthReach program. 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
