Registration for Artist Academy Jr. Now Open

Hygienic Art offers program to engage children and families with the arts and their community through story-telling and creative activities

Hygienic Art Galleries offers program to engage children and families with the arts and their community through story-telling and creative activities led by local artists and guest illustrators.

“There is no such thing as being too young to be creative. Hygienic Art has an opportunity to be a gateway to creative exploration and an introduction to the arts for children in the
community,” says McKay.

Each Saturday, several books pertaining to creative fun and the impact of the arts will be read to the children. Following the story-time, there will be a hands-on craft for children and parents to engage in together and with their neighbors.
