Friday Arts Academy

Friday Arts Academy is our child and youth program which offers a variety of fine arts classes, performing arts classes, and more to students from Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12). Our course offerings this season include classes such as watercolor painting, drawing, sculpting, and more!

Our classes are perfect for helping to develop valuable skills such as improving fine motor development, enhancing self-esteem, and increasing academic success.

Museum Members receive 10% off of classes with discount code: 24CLASS10 

For help enrolling in classes by phone, please call Guest Services at (719) 295-7200 or stop by the museum's front desk for assistance in-person.

Please note that this year, classes are held in the Helen Thatcher White galleries building, located to the right of the Buell Children's Museum. Student check-in and pick-up will be located in the 3rd floor boardroom. Our front desk staff can assist with directions.

Directions: When arriving to the museum, if you choose to park in the museum's main parking lot, you will use either the sidewalk/ramp to the right or the stairs to enter the galleries building. Once inside, you can utilize the elevators or stairs to reach the meeting place on the museum's 3rd floor. We will have signage and staff on-site to assist with directions. If you have any questions or need access assistance please reach out to our front desk staff at 719-295-7200 or you can email our Education and Programs Manager, Cayla Salas, at cayla@sdc-arts.org. We look forward to welcoming your student(s) for classes!
