Youth Art Classes

At the Rahr-West Art Museum, we have a passion for the important role visual arts plays in education. We offer weekly classes for both home school students, as well as after school classes for students aged 5-12 years. Our knowledgeable instructors provide students with inspiration and tools to make the process of creating art fun and educational.
