Youth Classes

From paint and pottery to dance and theater, our youth programs are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and give every child the space to create something extraordinary.

At Tupper Arts, we believe every child has a story to tell. Our youth classes offer a supportive environment where students can explore new skills, connect with fellow young creatives, and find their unique voice through the power of the arts.

This class integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math with an incorporation of Art. By blending technical skills with creative thinking, students learn that every problem has a beautiful solution. It’s about more than just building; it’s about understanding the 'why' behind the 'how' through artistic experimentation. (Wednesdays during the school term only).

These classes are FREE thanks to funding by Tupper Arts
