In the far northeastern corner of the United States lies the picturesque state of Maine. Known for its majestic lighthouses, sprawling forests, and scrumptious lobsters, Maine is the perfect spot for our little troop of paint-brush wielding warriors. Led by their fearless leader, Sir Brush-a-Lot, a valiant knight with a palette for a shield and color tubes for a sword, they embark on an artistic journey filled with laughter and creativity. It's a sight to behold when these kids dip their brushes into vibrant pools of paint, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They approach their canvases as if they were magical portals, their brushes the keys to unlock the doors to their imaginations. Sir Brush-a-Lot rallies his troops, his voice booming out, "Charge, my valiant artists! Charge with your brushes and paint a world only you can dream of!" Oh, the giggles that echo in the Maine air! The kids' laughter provides a heartwarming soundtrack to the masterpiece unfolding on their canvases. But it's not just about painting. The children learn about the beauty of nature, the value of friendship, and most importantly, the freedom to express themselves. Every stroke of their brushes is a testament to their spirit. Every dab of paint is a splash of their dreams. Every laughing child is a little artist in the making. So, if you ever find yourself in the beautiful state of Maine, take a moment to watch the children paint. And if you're lucky, you just might catch a glimpse of Sir Brush-a-Lot, leading his merry band of mini-artists on their next magical adventure. So, join us in Maine, where the forests are as green as the freshest paint, the sea is as blue as the deepest hue, and the kids are as vibrant as a newly painted sunrise. Come be a part of our painting extravaganza!

At our College for Kids, we offer classes that are designed to introduce kids to the college-level art creation experience. Every class is either one or one and a half hours long and meets once a week for three trimesters. Our instructors are local professional artists who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to their classes. Throughout the trimesters, we have a variety of projects that range from art history to children’s literature, and use fine arts materials. As an added bonus, we also bring in local field trips so that kids can experience the art community outside of the classroom. At the end of each trimester, we host a First Friday Art Walk opening to showcase the student’s work. Not only that, but we also offer summer-long art camps for those who want to continue their learning. With our College for Kids program, kids get an experience that’s just like college-level art classes!
