ARTeens is a Pay-What-You-Can Afterschool Program
for teens who love making art!
ARTeens is co-directed by artists
Phyllis Labanowski and Jane Beatrice Wegscheider.
There are three entry/exit points for ARTeens each year:
fall, winter and spring.
We are currently wrapping up our Spring Session
which began April 25, 2017.
Please join us to celebrate the program on June 10!

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.
Our 3rd annual Fabulous Hilltown Draw-Around,
a pay-what-you-can fundraiser for ARTeens,
was a huge success!
We invite friends, community members and businesses to help support ARTeens by making a contribution. You can make a donation by clicking on our DONATE button at the top right of this page or by mailing your contribution to:

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
