The YOUTH OPEN ART STUDIO is an exciting opportunity for children aged 5-12 to unleash their creativity through a free drop-in class, launching on July 6, 2024. Held every first and third Saturday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Pendleton Center for the Arts, this program is led by experienced instructor Kate Peck. The studio provides kids with access to a wide array of art materials and a supportive environment to explore their artistic interests. Open-ended activities such as drawing, painting, and collage encourage children to express their imagination and develop their artistic skills independently. The initiative emphasizes the importance of creative learning and play, allowing young artists to discover their unique voices.

Parents are invited to participate, making it a perfect family outing. This program not only fosters creativity but also strengthens community ties by bringing families together through art. With sessions designed to inspire and engage, the YOUTH OPEN ART STUDIO is set to be a valuable addition to Pendleton's cultural offerings.
