This is an uninstructed time for teens. Take over the studio for these afternoons–make it your own, alongside peers who love art. Explore abundant art materials with time and space to develop your ideas. 

Artist Rhonda Ratray will be present as a resource in case you’d like to consult with her about where to go with a project, ask her how to mix a particular color, share a thought, or find out about life as a professional artist.
