What’s on your palette for Fall, Winter & Spring?

For Art’s Sake offers a variety of ART CLASSES! From classes for pint-sized artists and Private Lessons to Portfolio Development and Adult classes, we have options for all ages and skill levels! Classes are held August-May with the exception of Private Lessons which are available year round.

Oh, and in case we forget to mention it in the descriptions below, all of our classes are first and foremost FUN!

Classes will be held August 2024 - May 2025! Dates and times have been adjusted since the last session so please check carefully for any changes made to our class schedule before registering this Fall.

We will follow the Madison city school system as far as school closings including inclement weather days.

The classes listed below are our current recurring class options. Receive email updates on newly offered or additional specialty classes by signing up for informational updates at the bottom of this page.

Each class is set up on a 20-week semester with four weeks per session. We encourage interested students to sign up for the whole semester in order to cultivate their creative abilities and prepare them for higher level classes. You can sign up for any of the sessions at any time… meaning if you missed a session or two, you can still sign up for the next session. You can also sign-up month to month.

*We cannot accommodate drop-ins. Please let us know in advance if your kiddo would like to try a class out before signing up for a session.

*Grown-ups are welcome to drop off and pick up your kiddos or stay for a while until you and your young artist are comfortable with the class. We have found through our teaching experience that children tend to try harder, learn more quickly and are more creative when the instructors are the only source of assistance during class. If you decide to stay and observe, we respectfully ask that you not assist your student during class.

Please Contact Us if you are unsure of class level placement or have any further questions.
