FLY Children’s Art Center is a non-profit mobile open studio for kids. Our volunteer staff packs up supplies and head out into libraries, schools, coffee shops, community centers, even  living rooms to bring meaningful art making experiences to children right where they are. Because of generous support from the community, many of our classes are free to the students who take them. The tuition in our fee-based classes is kept intentionally low so that our programs are accessible to all kids.

FLY open studio sessions are an environment where children are self directed artists. Children at FLY practice decision making, problem solving, risk taking and creative synthesis in a safe and supportive environment. The adults at FLY are facilitators, supply-getters and safety keepers. Children at FLY see themselves as art makers in a fun and exciting place.
