Art in the Park is a Hoboken favorite, with local preschool teacher Nora Martinez DeBenedetto helping children dig into play dough, paint, glue, bubbles, sing-alongs, storytime, and more.

It takes place in the shade of your local park.

The cost for participants is $45 for five classes (45-minute sessions). Children may only attend the class for which he/she is registered. Accommodations cannot be made for switching classes or makeups (including vacations). If class is cancelled due to inclement weather conditions, parents will receive an email notification regarding a makeup date.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and best to dress in messy clothing, as materials used may stain clothing. For Hoboken residents only. Proof of residency required.
