Youth Art League
Our premier youth art program—Youth Art league—exists to provide young people with an opportunity to express themselves creatively and develop their artistic abilities. YAL lessons are held on the second Saturday* of each month (excl. December). Lessons are designed to be both informative and enjoyable for all of our students, who typically leave each session with a finished work of art. Past lessons have included acrylic pour, paper art, drawing, pastels, watercolor, sculpting with paper, and painting with 3-D glasses, just to name a few. All materials are provided by the Gateway Art Gallery.
YAL membership entitles each student to enter our annual Youth Art Show & Competition in the Fall, which includes a pizza party, trophies, and prize money. So hang onto those art pieces and be ready to enter when the call goes out for entries!

Young DaVinci Summer Art Program
For three days each Summer, typically in July, volunteer artists at the Gateway Art Gallery host and teach a 2-hour-long art program for children ages 7 to 12. This program is intended to supplement our monthly youth art classes, while giving children something to look forward to and do during their Summer break. These classes offer more in-depth lessons and typically encompass one medium each day. Students explore new media in these lessons and come away with several pieces of art to take home by the end of the program. There is no cost for this program, but pre-registration is required and space is limited to 20 students per day.
To register for this fun program, download the registration form and return it to the Gallery before the closing date.
