Process-over-product art classes for babies through teens
Philly Art Center is a dedicated art instruction studio offering classes, camps, and after-school programs for kids from infancy through teens, plus adult classes. Programs include Creative Playgroup + Story Time (drop-in for 0-30 months), adult+child music and art classes, drop-off kids art classes (ages 2+), tween classes, summer camps (ages 4-13, by the week), vacation camps (ages 5-12, by the day), and after-school art with free school pick-up. Their philosophy centers on process over product — what happens during art-making matters more than the finished piece. All materials provided and included in class cost. Tuition assistance available.
