Saturday Art Club

Saturday Art Club Ages: 8-12 yearsOur Saturday Art Club gives older children the opportunity to learn about the technical aspects of art-making while working with our team of professional artists. This season children will paint, draw and create mixed media pieces. Taking a close look at the work of famous artists, children will discover what the artists made and how they worked; taking inspiration to create their own pieces in response.  Please complete this Registration Form and return either by email to boxoffice@wexfordartscentre.ieor in person when attending the class.In the Arts Centre's brand new building we are welcoming young artists old & new to come together and take their place in the new space.
