These fun, free classes combine literacy, art, science, and social emotional learning. As a Rhode Island nonprofit, we encourage families to register for classes they can commit to attending, as we want to provide each student who wants to participate with the opportunity to do so. There will be prizes based on attendance. Registrations are limited to only 15 students per class, so register today.
Nature Drawing
Learn about nature and how to draw different animals in a fun and easy to follow step-by-step process. Dive into science and explore facts about Rhode Island’s animals that are in the greatest need of conservation and endangered species from around the globe. Our Nature Drawing class empowers our students with the knowledge of how to protect our environment.
Each Nature Drawing session meets once per week for seven weeks. Please be sure that your student will be able to consistently attend each week throughout the session.

Art in The Park
Our Art in the Park program blends social emotional learning (SEL), art, literacy, and environmental education to foster mindfulness, creativity, and a love of literacy in elementary school children while cultivating an open mindset. We will start each workshop with our mindful moments, followed by reading a book and an art activity. Walk-ins are welcome if space is available. Please arrive at least half an hour prior to the beginning of class to ensure classes can start on time. Each student will get a Creativity Kit including a book, blanket, and art supplies that they can take home with them after the workshop.
