Now in its tenth year, the Arts Palace was originally created by a group of parents who wanted their children to experience hands-on art opportunities in a classroom setting. From its inception, the Arts Palace has grown into a full program of camps, classes, and workshops scheduled on a quarterly basis, which offer a wide variety of art medium to students of all ages. Instructors are some of the area’s finest artists and teachers, providing students with skilled direction. Many students return quarter after quarter to continue developing their artistic abilities. The Arts Palace presents more than just art classes. These are life-enriching experiences in the arts that provide students of all ages, from pre-school to adults, a chance to develop existing talents or uncover new ones.
