REGISTRATION DATES & TUITION
The arts teach children and teens vital skills that nurture intellectual and creative development
with skills that prepare them for the 21st century. Perhaps now more than ever—as San Antonio
becomes increasingly diverse, the world more interconnected, and the workplace more oriented
around technology and creativity—arts education is a key to ensuring student success in school,
work, and life. A leader in arts education for ve decades, Young Artist Programs oers multiple
avenues for access to the visual arts for young artists across San Antonio.
Young Artist Program’s Summer Art Studios is the most comprehensive and largest summer arts
experience for students in San Antonio, oering eight weeks of classes for youth ages 7–14 and
teens ages 14–18. Our artist-teachers focus on fundamentals such as drawing and painting, as well
as experimental design and classes that explore world cultures. Summer Art Studios is unique in
oering media such as wheel throwing, metalsmithing, digital media, and sculpture. Summer Art
Studios allows young artists to work with like-minded peers and culminates in a public celebration
of their work each week.
