Bring art-loving kids, tweens and teens to our upcoming Old Town Newhall Library session on March 6th from 3 – 4:30. Drop-in and make beautiful leaf impressions, mounted and ready for display.

The ARTree recently received the news that the City of Santa Clarita will fund an arts grant that we submitted last fall. The project, In Celebration of Children’s Art, will create five eight foot by four foot panels, each depicting a self portrait of a child. The completed steel panels will be installed in the area of Todd Longshore park located at the top of Whites Canyon Road.

The grant will fund the materials as well as the installation of the five works but the dedicated ARTree artists and volunteers will be teaching workshops at local elementary schools and assisting children as they add their self portraits to the panels.

Our ARTree classes for ages 8-12 continue to run at full capacity, with a waiting list! The Winter Activities Center Watercolor class brought many eager and talented young people; and a big thank you goes to Michael Powell for his skills as a teacher, and artist.

The next session, again held at the Activities Center, begins on March 26th for 6 weeks. Sign ups through Seasons magazine, begin February 17th. The theme is 3-dimentional art.

What makes ARTree classes different from the others?
ARTree is Santa Clarita’s only non-profit organization providing low-cost, multi-week classes to our community, run completely by artists dedicating their time and talents.
Program fees we collect help fund broader community public art projects, supports our free lecture series, and helps pay for administrative costs.
Our “Sampler” classes, where kids can explore art in many forms, allow participants to sample mediums and methods to find their passion in the arts. We also offer single subject courses for more in-depth genre mastery.

Art classes for kids, a community center, artist’s work and exhibition space, and much, much more. Bell Arts Factory is fully integrated into the Ventura arts community and the neighborhood that surrounds it. Learn how it got started, where nine years of growth have taken it, and what it might mean for The ARTree and our work.
