The Studio School
A distinctive visual arts program for kids and more
Since 1992, The Studio School (formerly the Art Academy) has provided opportunities for children ages 5-13 to create art with genuine artist’s materials in an authentic studio environment, on the university campus.
Presented by the Department of Art and the College of Extended Education at Cal Poly Humboldt, The Studio School is designed by art education faculty and taught by local art educators.
In the summer, Studio School offers "Studio School Plus" -- a before/after Studio School program for participants.
Kids can make amazing art and memories in The Studio School! Enroll early, as classes fill quickly.
