Art for Kids is a scholarship-based program presented by the St. Johns River Festival of the Arts. Proceeds of the festival, sponsors and grants support this program to provide hands-on visual arts classes for children in our community.

WHAT IS ART FOR KIDS?

Located in the Historic Hopper Academy Building at 1101 Pine Avenue in Sanford, the Art for Kids Art Center offers a well-stocked, safe classroom environment. Free tuition is available for families who qualify and cannot afford classes. A sliding-scale fee structure is offered tothose who can contribute, along with discounts for families enrolling multiple children.

HOW WE DO IT!

Students receive instruction from experienced teaching artists and explore a variety of media, including drawing, painting, pottery, sculpture, and mixed media. The program is designed to make arts education accessible while fostering creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Currently, classes are held on Wednesday, but occasionally change.
