Register now for an art-full summer
Art Partners Studio is an independent nonprofit in Coatesville.
Art Partners Studio is Coatesville’s art studio—a place where artists of all ages are encouraged, supported, and honored. Studio programs partner artists with neighbors through classes, exhibitions, hands-on activities at city events, and community art projects.
The Studio’s artists are all experienced art educators. They ensure that art camps for school-age youngsters and early evening classes for teens and adults are filled with a world of traditional or more experimental approaches to art-making. The summer schedule includes classes in animé, ceramics, drawing, painting, landscape painting, street art, photography & digital imaging, printmaking with a press, and stop motion animation.
Professional art materials are used in all classes. The media lab has iMac computers, cameras, printers, Adobe Photoshop and other graphics applications, and this summer they have a printing press for the printmaking class.
Age appropriate camps and classes are organized for kindergarteners through second graders, third through fifth graders, teens, and adults. Middle school students who are not yet teens are encouraged to register for teen classes.
Camps and classes are small to ensure individual attention. Enrollments for kindergarten through second grade art camps are limited to ten students, and photography classes are limited to eight. All other art camps and art classes have a limit of twelve students.
All day art camps begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. Lunch is around noon. There will also be scheduled mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks for fun and games in the new green space in the backyard of the studio, which has been lovingly restored by Girl Scout Troop 4732. Before Care (8 to 9:30 a.m.) and After Care (3:30 to 5 p.m.) is also available for working parents.
Art Partners Studio’s downtown art space occupies the ground floor of a Victorian across from the Library at 524 East Lincoln Highway. The building has a roofed front porch, shady fenced-in backyard, three air-conditioned studios that includes a media lab for photography, digital imaging, and animation.
Teen art assistants from the Studio and the Coatesville Youth Initiative Service Corps are always at hand to help in the classroom and encourage creative play during breaks.
