After School Collective

NLArts curriculum fosters an intrinsic sense of awe and wonder in each of us through an appreciation of the natural world and the capacity for human creativity and stewardship within it.

There’s room to understand and celebrate everyone’s diverse stories in the art studio. NLArts educators and students appreciate art in context–art is not just an ornament to our lives, but a positive reflection of our stories and cultures, and windows into each others’.

At NLArts, we believe in each person’s capacity to be a creative communicator. We strengthen this muscle by making choices that reflect our preferences in artmaking, using art as a tool to share important messages, or problem solving in collaborative work.

NLArts community members use the tools gained to collaboratively help design environments that serve us. We, the artists, are the innovators of our collective futures, and our work has the power to create real and positive social change, and make room for play.

The NLArts Afterschool Collective is entering the second phase of its pilot!

As we gather feedback and enrollment grows, some operational details - such as attendance options or scheduling - may be refined throughout the school year to help maintain balanced class sizes and the best possible experience for your family.

What won't change is our vision! A small, creative community led by caring artist educators. Where children feel known, encouraged, and inspired as they learn, create, and grow through our curriculum.

We're so grateful to continue building something special for NLArts!
