Creative KidZone After School!

Creative KidZone Art Classes every Thursday (Ages 7 -14yrs.) The Progress Energy Art Gallery is pleased to offer Creative KidZone Art Classes where students have the opportunity to explore the visual arts. We will discover the magical world of drawing, painting, clay hand-building, fused glass, Up-cycled Art and much more. Students will expand their visual arts vocabulary, studying artists and their famous works of art as an inspiration and starting point for their own art while making new friends and learning new, fun, creative techniques. Instructor: Patty Reeves


Patty has a lot of creative ideas to share with students! Over the next few weeks, Patty will be helping the students to create gift ideas for the upcoming holidays. Each class the student will create and take a completed project!
