Studio Sessions | Summer Drop-In Art Workshops
A daily summer studio experience for youth who want to make, explore, and get their hands into real materials.
Join artist and educator Sasha Jimenez French of Birdgirl Arts for a series of small-group art workshops designed for young artists ages 8–16. Each session explores a different medium in a relaxed, welcoming studio environment where creativity and experimentation are encouraged.
With only 5 drop-in spaces available each day, participants receive plenty of individual guidance while creating artwork they'll be proud to take home.
No experience is necessary—just bring your imagination!
