Old Town School of Folk Music

At the Old Town School, our children's art classes focus on both the joyful process of art making and the incredible experience of having created something new. All of our art classes are ideal for both beginners and experienced artists, and our art teachers establish an encouraging, dynamic, and creative atmosphere in which students feel comfortable achieving all of the artistic goals that they set for themselves.

For parents and children, our extremely popular Scribble classes introduce very young kids to the wonders of visual arts. As children get older and more independent, they can move on to more advanced classes like Painting Studio and Comics.
