ABC Young Artist Studio
After-school Art Studio
Calling all young artists!
Denver's young artists gather weekly in our gallery and studio to explore contemporary art first-hand. They work with art education students from MSU Denver to examine the practices and tools of 21st century artists. Participants develop skills in variety of media and uncover inspiration in the exhibitions traveling through the gallery.
Our youngest artists gain exposure to a variety of media while senior artists begin to develop portfolio based work.
The Center for Visual Art features exhibitions of these young artists' work offering our community an opportunity to celebrate the work of children and adolescents.
