Art Smart After School Program

Our after-school program, Art Smart, is for children aged 6 to 12 years old and teaches them new ways to approach art. Over an eight-week program, children will explore their creativity and expression through fun and stimulating activities!

All lessons are taught by our specialist primary school art teacher who is supported by our volunteers. The program follows a structured lesson plan different from the classroom.

Bookings are essential, and the program is limited to 15 places. Check back in June 2025 for details on our Term 3 program.
