Upcoming Events
Join us for a full summer of creativity, exploration, and imagination! MBACC's 7-week Summer Youth Arts Program invites young artists to dive into a new creative theme each week while building skills across visual arts, crafts, clay, and performance.
Throughout the summer, participants will experiment with a wide range of materials, collaborate with peers, and express themselves through hands-on artmaking and playful movement. Each week offers fresh inspiration, while enrolling for the full summer allows artists to deepen their creativity, grow confidence, and form lasting friendships in a supportive, joyful environment.
Families may register for individual weeks or enroll in the full program at a discounted rate.
