Committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all
We believe that the act of creating art is a pathway to self-fulfillment.
Every person has a story to tell, and at Articulture we want everyone to have a turn to tell theirs.
By creating space and access to artists of all ages and skill levels in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities area, we want to ensure as many people as possible are given opportunities to find creative expression through the visual arts.
Art programs for children
Our programs for children provide opportunities for quality artistic instruction combined with open-ended, imagination-based art projects.
We design our classes to foster creative thinking, enhance motor skills, and provide an outlet for artistic curiosity and sensory development with a variety of art materials.
Art education is essential for holistic growth, cognitive development, and academic learning of a young person.
Art programs for teens
Our classes, camps, and workshops are designed to allow youth to express their emotions, ideas, and experiences in a safe and constructive environment. We encourage them to think outside the box and develop their personal and unique voices.
Patience and perseverance, boosted self-esteem, and increased cognitive skills are just some of the valuable benefits of their engagement in the arts.
Studies have shown that art education can enhance academic achievement, as it aids in development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which is necessary in all academic learning in addition to gaining important life skills.
Art programs for adults
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Regardless of your field, profession, background, or artistic skill level, you will find yourself immersed in this fun, creative, and supportive environment.
It can be the most gratifying way to discover a new passion, reconnect with your inner artist, or expand your existing creative skills, while also, connecting with peers having similar interests and passions.
Stress reduction, mindfulness and presence, emotional expression, and versatility in problem-solving are just some of the great benefits of engaging in creative opportunities as an adult.
