About the program
For over 75 years the Saturday Studios program at Massachusetts College of Art and Design has served a dual purpose: offering elementary through high school students an affordable opportunity to engage in the process of art making and supporting the development of MassArt students as art educators. Courses in a variety of disciplines and media are available by grade level, allowing students to explore and strengthen their creativity and creative problem solving. Classes are taught by MassArt students majoring in Art Education and supervised by MassArt Art Education faculty. All classes take place on the MassArt campus, a unique and extraordinary urban college setting devoted exclusively to the visual arts.

Who is eligible?

Courses are open to all interested students, from beginners who have never taken any art classes to the emerging young artist. There are no prerequisites or portfolio reviews. There is also a no-cost parent/guardian drop-in group each week that provides a variety of activities ranging from gallery and museum tours, to guest speakers and art-making sessions. This group provides parents and guardians with a wonderful opportunity to connect with their children on art-related issues.
