YScholars Arts Programs

FUN, HANDS-ON ART EXPLORATIONS

Help your child or teen experience the joy of creating something with his or her own hands! Creativity and a variety of sensory rich mediums combine in our Visual Arts programs. Artists are exposed to beginning visual art concepts and vocabulary while developing essential life skills, discovering and sharing their world.

Our professionally led visual arts programs at select YMCA branches inspire children and teens to tap into their creative potential, discover and master their talents.
