We offer engaging programs for all ages, including Parent and Toddler groups, Saturday art classes, free Family Days as well as Summer and Winter camps for Elementary and Middle School students.
Check the events calendar for upcoming dates.
Our supportive instructors make learning fun and accessible, helping you explore new techniques and express yourself freely. Join us to unwind, meet like-minded people, and surprise yourself with your own artistic potential.
Not at all! our experienced teachers support students at any skill level to have an enriching experience in our classes.
We provide all supplies. We do recommend that you wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little messy.
For most our kids classes, workshops and camps, kids are dropped off and the parents are free to leave ACW until the end of class. However, any class with the word “Family” in the title (Family Art Class, Family Day, Family Workshop, etc.) is designed for parents or accompanying adults to stay and participate.
Kids are always welcome any day that we are open. We invite you to come and check out Arty’s Corner! Arty is Art Center Waco’s kids’ mascot, and in Arty’s Corner you will find interactive resources like a Scavenger Hunt, art activities, a mini kids’ art gallery where they can display their work. They can even take a selfie with Arty and take home an Arty water bottle sticker! Keep an eye out for our free gala-style Family Days, and please consider Art Center Waco for your next Group Field Trip location.
Teens are welcome to grab one of our exhibit related scavenger hunts, or use one of our clipboards to sketch their favorite artwork.
Keep an eye out for our monthly ArtVenture classes (ages 13-18), or Teen Summer Camps, all taught by local artists and art educators.
We also offer the opportunity for students ages 14-18 to become a Youth Ambassador for Art Center Waco to their home campus!
