Youth ArtReach Studio is our newest branch of art opportunities in the San Diego community that provides quality art workshops and lessons for youth aged 6-18. Y.A.S. workshops are hosted at ArtReach Studio HQ throughout the year and serve as a dedicated space specifically for youth and their guardians.
Each workshop is developed and led by our staff of Teaching Artists which will enrich and nurture young artists’ skills and creativity in a studio space with endless art materials at their disposal. Each lesson focuses on art processes and material exploration through relative and contemporary art practices. Each young artist will walk away with a finished piece, a newly learned technique, and an expanded understanding of the visual arts.
Youth ArtReach Studio offers two workshops for youth based on age group: Y.A.S. Family and Y.A.S. Teen. See below for more details on each.
