They experiment with Crayola® products, while trying art techniques developed by local artists and artisans.
They make different masterpieces each week such as drums, masks, canvases, prints, buses, and more!

Kids explore the wonder of the animal kingdom and discover nature in a way that inspires empathy, curiosity, and creativity.
They learn about many different animals and how wildlife conservationists are working to protect species around the globe.

Art Blazers
Artists Who Changed the World
Kids discover inspiring masterpieces and artists who have changed the world as we know it; from Frida Kahlo to Keith Haring.
They experiment with different art techniques and use Crayola art materials to express their ideas. They design a different unique, artist-inspired creation each class. We encourage them to create the change that they wish to see in the world!
Legends and Lore
Unleashing Creativity through Myths and Mystery
From sea creatures of the deep to phoenixes in the sky, every society has its legends and lore.
We'll tell their stories through paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. These tales may inspire awe, curiosity, or surprise, but they all inspire our imaginations!
Each class is all about designing a one-of-a-kind mythical creature. Let your imagination and tell your own stories!

FAQ
Where are Imagine Arts Academy After-School Programs held?
Imagine Arts Academy after-school programs are held at the location listed at the time of registration. School programs are held on school grounds – no extra transportation is necessary to participate!
+When do I pay?
Payment is required at the time of registration. We accept checks or credit cards (over the phone, on the registration form, or through our on-line registration system).
+What is your class cancellation policy?
We will follow the inclement weather and school closure policy of the school district in which we are instructing. We will attempt to schedule a make-up class, provided the cancelled class takes place at least one week before the start of the next program.
+My child usually attends aftercare at the school. Can they still participate?
Yes! Simply select "daycare" as the pickup option at the time of registration and our instructor will make sure your student is escorted to the on-site aftercare program at the conclusion of the class.
+What if I need to cancel my registration?
Cancellations communicated to Imagine Arts Academy prior to the start of class will be provided a full refund less a $10 service charge. Please note that no refunds will be provided after the class has started.
+Why would I want to add my child to a wait-list with 5 or more children already on it?
While adding your child’s name to a wait-list does not guarantee them a spot in the class, it does let us know that there is more interest that we originally estimated. A second class may then be added to accommodate the wait-listed children, which is contingent upon school approval and classroom availability.
+Can I choose which program to enroll my child in?
Unfortunately, our classes are location specific. We ensure that each semester brings a new science theme to each school. We are unable to give each school a different topic.
+What is your student behavior policy?
Our instructors set clear boundaries and expectations as to appropriate conduct. If a child becomes disrespectful or hurtful of others in the program, we will notify you immediately and ask for your help in resolving the situation. If a workable solution cannot be found, they may be asked not to return. There will be no refund.
