Brooklyn Afterschool Arts for Kids K–4

A place to play, create and connect after school.


After school arts is intended to give children a place to express and explore materials freely and expand their creative ideas through open-ended, process oriented arts explorations. You can expect your children to create things they want to take home and also sometimes just revel in the freedom to make mistakes and learn through materials.

Our philosophy of making and exploring in the arts values listening to children while encouraging inquiry, curiosity and risk-taking. Freedom of expression and to play are central to helping children grow confidence in their art making.

As always, we will utilize Prospect Park and the Studio. The park is alive with inspiration and a healthy place for wondering and playing. The studio is a beautiful space of curated materials, books, light and loose parts. Both are unique spaces where focused project work, community play, music and stories are created and shared.

Bring your children here to play, make things and be joyful in the after school hours with us!
