Vacation programs
Full days in the studio when school is out. Each week runs to its own theme and moves between painting, drawing, ceramics and the culinary studio, so children are making something different by the afternoon than they were at nine in the morning.

Full days, 8:30 to 4:15
A proper day in the studio rather than an hour after school. Bring a water bottle and a nut-free snack; everything else is provided.
A theme for the week
Each vacation week is built around one idea and runs across the studios, so the work builds through the week instead of restarting every morning.
Art and the culinary studio
Vacation weeks are where the painting, ceramics and cooking studios get used together. It is the fullest version of what Art Smart does.
What a vacation week looks like
The wheels, the kitchen, the easels and the big table. A week moves through all of them.

The Art of Artisan Bread: A Festive Baking & Design Experience
Join us for a festive, hands-on workshop where the art of bread making meets creative design!
Designed for ages 8–10, this four-hour experience introduces participants to the art of making bread. Students will learn the fundamentals of mixing, kneading, shaping, and preparing their own bread while discovering the patience and creativity that go into creating something from scratch.
While the dough rests and rises, participants will switch from baker to designer, personalizing their own canvas bread bag with a unique design to carry their freshly baked creation home.
Combining culinary skills, artistic expression, and the satisfaction of making something by hand, this special workshop offers a memorable experience filled with creativity, discovery, and the simple joy of homemade bread.
The experience includes:
- Hands-on artisan bread-making instruction
- All baking ingredients and supplies
- A custom canvas bread bag decorating activity
- A freshly baked loaf to take home
- A fun, welcoming environment for young bakers and creators
4 hours – Please pack a nut free snack, lunch and drink!
