Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer fine art classes?

No. Arts Unleashed does not offer traditional fine art classes such as painting or pottery. Our programs focus on storytelling art and process-based creation. Children work within a theme using shared materials and guidelines, but are encouraged to think independently and create freely using mixed media.

What is process art?

Process art focuses on the creative journey rather than the final result. Children experiment, explore, and try new materials without pressure to produce a specific outcome. This approach supports creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, and confidence.

Do you offer preschool art classes?

Yes. Our preschool art class is designed for children ages 2 and up. Toddlers explore mixed media and sensory materials alongside a caregiver. The class encourages free expression and helps children begin developing their own creative voice.

What is the class refund policy?

Credits or refunds are not offered for missed classes. When possible, a take-home art kit may be provided.

What can my child do at Arts Unleashed?

Children are encouraged to explore, imagine, and create freely. They may paint, build, design sets and props, write stories, experiment with materials, get messy, take creative risks, and play. Arts Unleashed is a 100 percent kid-created art studio offering process art and mixed-media storytelling experiences where imagination leads the way.

What ages are your programs designed for?

Arts Unleashed offers art programs for children ages 2 to 10, with classes, camps, and experiences tailored to different age groups.

Can I register and pay online?

Yes. All registrations are completed online, and payment is available online at the time of booking.

What if my child is sick and misses a class?

Credits or refunds are not offered for missed classes. When possible, a take-home art kit may be provided.
