FAQ
What is the enrollment process?
Our enrollment form can be filled out online. You can enroll anytime but you only need to enroll once per year.
Additionally, we ask that you sign in for attendance at the front desk each visit. This helps us provide valuable data when applying for the grants that fund our classes.
​
Do I need to come to every class?
We do not expect students to come to every class. Our classes are open classes which means that each student works on their own project and at their own pace! We offer multiple class times to help accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. You are also more than welcome to take multiple classes.
​
How long should my child stay?
Young artists have varying attention spans, but most are done with class after one or two hours. They are not required to stay for the entire duration of class. Children’s Drawing and Painting currently has designated time slots to help match student’s needs and to allow more students to participate.
​
How much does it cost?
Our mission since 1959 has been to provide FREE community art classes! Art should be accessible to everyone and not just those who can afford it. As a non-profit we operate from grants, donations, & fundraisers. We encourage students to give back as they are able.
​
What materials do I need to bring?
You are more than welcome to bring your own camera, paints, brushes, and other items you prefer but we have all materials available for you here at Locust Street Art. There is no additional cost for using our materials.
When are your FREE Community Art Classes?
We offer our FREE community art classes from Mid September through early June every year. Please check our community calendar for holiday closures. Additionally, we recommend checking our social media to check for emergency closures in case of adverse weather or instructor illness.
​
What do you do during the summer?
During the summer, we offer low cost specialty workshops for all ages, as well as summer camps for youth. Additionally, our Art Show is in late June!
​
What is the Art Show?
​
Each year since 1959, we have held an Annual Art Show in the Summer to celebrate all of the accomplishments of our students. Each attending student is encouraged to select artworks with the help of their instructor that they feel represents their improvements in art. The artwork is displayed through the next year all throughout the building. Everyone is invited to attend and celebrate their achievements! We have food and fun activities available for all.
Can I keep my artwork?
​
Of course! We encourage you to take home your collection of works at the end of the session after you have selected pieces for the annual art show.
