Childrens Fine Art Classes (CFAC)
Registration opens December 1st for the Spring 2026 semester. The Children’s Fine Art Classes program engages and inspires the next generation of creative leaders by providing intensive, in-depth art experiences to visually talented and motivated elementary and middle school students. Since 1925, the program has offered concentrated studies in two-dimensional art that include studio practices in drawing, painting, and mixed media; art history; critiquing skills; and aesthetics. Each student is provided scholarship to attend so that economic status will play no part in a child’s participation or placement.

CFAC Adaptive Art
We embrace neurodiversity, recognizing the natural variations in the way individuals think, perceive, and learn. By valuing and celebrating each child's unique artistic voice, we cultivate a sense of pride and confidence in their creative abilities.
Our goal is to nurture self-expression and ignite a lifelong passion. The Children’s Fine Art Classes has had the privilege of guiding young artists on a journey where they feel seen, heard, and inspired to be their truest selves through art for over 100 years.
