ARTology at the Station
A Homeschool Art Experience
Artology is a unique visual arts program designed just for homeschool families! Each session is a stand-alone event, giving your family the flexibility to register your artists when you can—no need to commit to a full series.
Every month we’ll explore a new theme, and each Artology session will guide artists through creating original artwork inspired by that topic.
Details:
- Cost: $30 per artist ($10 off for each additional artist in your household)
- Register separately for each date you’d like to attend
