Afternoon Arts

An ongoing weekly art opportunity for kids!!

Thursdays, 4-5pm
Ages 4-8
$3 per kid per session!

Fun with masks!

Celebrate creativity every week, with great art for kids at the Jax.

Kids ages 4 to 8 are invited to experience this array of arts and crafts, and thanks to some wonderful sponsors, each session is now only $3 per child!!

Sarah Greene, of Greene Photography, will be our 2012 leading Afternoon Arts instructor. Sarah has taught children’s art courses for many years, and is participating in the Jax & Floyd Elementary School’s AfterSchool Arts Enrichment (ASAE) program this year. She teaches everything from art history and painting to mask-making, photography and sign language to youth.

Parent participation is welcome, but not required.

You can register online or call or stop by the Jax during regular business hours.

Walk-ins: please call the center before class to make sure that we are holding class that day–advance notice will be given for Thursdays that will not be scheduled.

The Jax does close when Floyd County public schools are closed, so there will be no Afternoon Arts during school closures.
