ART YARD BKLYN offers art education programs for kids, teens, adults, and practicing artists, providing direct access to contemporary visual art. Art is a holistic endeavor that allows us to delve into any topic imaginable. The practice of learning, creating, thinking, and discussing art nourishes people of all ages in body, mind, heart, and spirit. In addition, through the act of looking outside oneself, the creative act fosters a sense of civic responsibility and an awareness of social justice. ART YARD BKLYN is a safe haven where everyone is treated with kindness and respect. We are a community of creative thinkers, expansive dreamers, and well-educated art makers. Our instructors are a stylistically, culturally, and generationally diverse group of working artists. Each lesson is developed by a different teaching artist which allows us to delve deeply into our artmaking practice because each instructor brings their unique vision and methods to our students.
