Kid and teen programs
Discover year-round art and design programs for children and teens at Alberta University of the Arts! We offer hands-on learning for ages 3 - 17 in a supportive and fun environment. Led by experienced instructors, these programs are designed to encourage creative exploration, skill development, and confidence building through art.
*Parents, please create an account using your child's name and date of birth when registering online. Each child must have their own account - you cannot register multiple children under the same account.
Parent & Child Courses
Parent & Child classes provide a supportive introduction to art for children ages 3-8, with caregivers participating alongside them. Each class explores a new theme or medium, supporting early creativity and quality time together.
Parent and Child Art Studio
Parent and Child Art Studio is a program designed for children and their parents to explore, imagine, and make art together! Each course invites you to connect through hands-on projects that encourage curiosity and communication. Guided by an experienced art facilitator, participants will work with different art mediums such as paint, clay, or collage, while experimenting with simple techniques that build creativity and confidence.
