Unleash your imagination and make time to create! The Creative Kids Art Club gives elementary students extra dedicated time after school to explore their artistic side, experiment with new techniques, and express themselves through art. In a fun, relaxed environment, young artists will get to dive deeper into creative projects—typically completing 1–2 awesome, hands-on masterpieces to take home.

Gather & Bloom: Thanksgiving Centerpieces Get creative and bring a little fall beauty to your Thanksgiving table! Students will explore the basics of floral design, including flower placement, color coordination, balance, and arrangement techniques, as they design their own festive Thanksgiving centerpiece. Using beautiful artificial flowers and seasonal accents, each student will create a unique arrangement to take home and display during the holiday season. Best of all, their creation will last for years to come, making it a reusable decoration for many Thanksgivings ahead! *** PLEASE NOTE OUR YOUTH DISMISSAL AND PICK-UP POLICY*** On the day of the course be sure to inform your child's school office, using their prescribed dismissal change policy, that your child will be attending EXCL for the enrichment course you have signed up for.
