We are currently registering children for our educational, fun and very affordable children's art classes. Note that tuition payments for our classes are tax deductible.

The "Kids Art Discovery" program is an ongoing, open enrollment series of themed art classes for ages 6 to 13 held every weekday afternoon and or Saturday at 1 pm (spring) winter 10 am. Tuition is prorated based on the number of days per week your child attends class. For example, one day a week is $60 per month. Classes start after school and end at 5 pm. Transportation from the Clinton, MA schools is available for $10 per month.

We will explore different methods and media to produce their works of art: watercolor, tempera, oil pastels, Cray-Pas, colored pencils, watercolor crayons, markers, clay, Model Magic, crayons, batik, and more. Kids will also make their own textured papers and explore creative uses for available materials. Also taught are basic art principles: line, drawing, positive/negative space, composition, color etc.

Let Collins Artworks entertain at your child's next birthday party. Our birthday packages are custom tailored to fit your child's personality or their own birthday theme. Choose from our themed programs or craft art activities such as painting cars, designing stylish hats or masks, making crazy critters, a collage inspired by a famous artist, American graffiti urban art, cultural art forms, and many more. All activities are age appropriate for children 3 to 12 years old. There are many lessons to choose from and the kids leave with beautiful, original art work to remember the day, and they have a blast creating it.

There is a minimum cost of $200 for up to 10 children including the birthday child. Two additional children can be added for ages 3 to 5 or 8 children for ages 6 to 12 at a cost of $15 per child. An "art goody bag" is given to each party guest and a special art gift is given to the birthday boy or girl. A $50 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking. Your party must be booked at least two weeks in advance.

A beautifully designed birthday cake can be added for an additional $15 to $20 in the design of your choice.
