Early Learner & Caregiver Art Classes

The Shiawassee Arts Center now has art classes for preschool aged children (3-5) and their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings or caregivers! Arts and craft projects can help develop children’s creativity, problem solving and motor skills, self-expression and self-esteem, and offer fun one-on-one time outside of the house for you and your budding artist. These classes are meant to serve as an introduction to some basic, hands-on art techniques and methods, and have plenty of room for creativity, experimenting and play for all participants.

Each class is $10 for Members/$12 for Guests. Purchase an annual SAC membership for your child ($20) or the entire family ($50) and receive discounts on classes.
