The PNC Arts Alive Family Arts Program is a free introductory art experience offered to children and teens (ages 5 to 17) from 9:30–11:30 a.m. Saturdays during the school year.
A family-oriented program, the classes give children the opportunity to work with different craft media. The activities will relate to the exhibitions that are on display.
The classes are taught by professional artist and parents or guardians are required to stay with the younger children (ages 5-12) throughout the program and often work alongside them.
