Youth Workshops + Classes
TEEN STUDIO
Thursdays from 5-7pm
March 3rd – May 8th
UVA’s Young Artist Studio is an after-school opportunity for youth to meet once a week with a professional artist to learn new artistic skills and vocabulary, practice these skills, connect with other teens, and more! This is a FREE opportunity for all Douglas County Youth.
Beyond learning and practicing new skills, students will have opportunities to take their creative ideas to the next level! Young artists that participate in the Young Artist Studio will be offered opportunities for their work to be shown in UVA’s Student Gallery and more.
Open to ages 12-18.
Field Trips
Douglas County classrooms are invited to UVA for an afternoon of art activities. A traditional field trip includes different art experiences, a tour that tells the history of UVA’s building, and a walk through current exhibits in the galleries.

Artists in Residence
UVA connects Douglas County schools with professional teaching artists and helps coordinate residencies that meet each school’s needs. Residencies can be designed to focus on a curricular theme, a certain medium, or on specific art skills. Typical residencies are one to two weeks (20 hours per week).
Art Express
Bring the arts into your classroom: grounded in art history and focused on exploring the social meanings of art, these lessons are fun and engaging! The one-hour lessons are led by trained Art Express volunteers.
