Warmer Days & Art Summer Camps Are Here!

Hi All,

Summer will be here before we know it. Your kids will be home and looking for things to do!

We have planned several great Art Summer Camps for mid June through end of August for you to think about. We are adding more all the time, as we get new instructors on board.

We have ever popular camp “Chalk It Up!” with Katie Walters returning in July! Also, Scott Rolfs is back with his series of Comic book style classes. A fresh addition this year is Barbara Lance Alldaffer, with some interesting offerings. We also have a bas-relief coin experience with artist Glenn Terry.

Space are filling very quickly, so don’t let your child miss out!


Have You Got Art On Your Fall Event Schedule?

Hi All,

Its been a long hot summer in Maple Grove, but it appears the weather is changing. Temps are falling and the leaves are dropping. This means it’s time to snuggle up and do some art!

We have some great new classes on offer right now, with more added all the time, so please keep checking back.


Youth Classes

We have a series of classes for the very youngest in your family on Sunday’s in November. These classes are based on books and activities and are with Kristina Makousky. They are called “Little Makers” and are priced at $25 per child. There are only 10 spaces per week, so don’t delay!

We also have a class for slightly older children with Barbara Alldaffter, “Paint Your Pet”. This should be a fun event for the 12 and up gang!

Our last offering currently for youth is with Alondra Garza. In this class our children will get to make a Piñata.

All these classes can be found and purchased on our website


Adult Classes

We have a lot of classes for adults scheduled for November onwards. We have a new instructor joining us, Lori Kinstad, who will be sharing her love of journaling with mixed media and some other classes spinning off that basic premise. These would be good for anyone who loves to mix it up!

We also have some Holiday themed classes that will bring on the Holiday vibes. We have three events that will be a paint and wine format. One is a angel painting class with Lorrie Link, another is a birch tree scene with a red bird taught by Barbara Alldaffer. The third is a seasonal painted wood server with Lisa Kindle. All of these fun events are priced at $50 and include all supplies. Spaces are selling fast!

Finally, we have a turkey painting class with Barbara Alldaffer.

All these can be found on our website and are again only 10 students per event, so don’t delay!


We are always looking for more art instructors to help us keep art flowing in Maple Grove and the surrounding area. We offer competitive pay structure and a friendly environment. Please get in touch with our Education Director, Dean Kindle, if interested in knowing more.


We are a registered 501c3, run entirely by volunteers, We rely on class income, art sales and donations to survive. If you would like to help us continue into 2022 and beyond, you can donate on our website or mail in a check.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope to see you at an event soon!

It's Still Summer and We've Still Got Kids Art Camps!

Hi All,

July is almost gone, but we’ve still got plenty of Summer Camps left for the kids! They are all held at our space in Maple Grove, 11666 Fountains Drive, and are directed by qualified instructors. The only class that moves out into another location is the “Chalk It Up Class!” This class is run by Katie Walters, an elementary school teacher and member of our board of directors. This class brings back memories of Chalkfest in Maple Grove and with the artist grade chalks provided, gives your child a real feeling of what those street artists experience! We have a few spaces left! Don’t miss out!

We also have classes from several other great teachers for all ages. You can see all of them here or here is a selection to entice your child to do some art this summer!
