A Free Arts Day is a one day “exploration of the arts” for children and their families from Free Arts’ partner facilities. Many of these days are in partnership with arts organizations or commissioned guest artists who perform or lead a special activity. The exposure to a variety of art activities with the support of caring volunteers, allows children to explore their talents and creativity while building self-esteem. Each day will be structured differently depending on the population and age range of the youth, as well  location.

Professional Artist Series consist of in-depth programs ranging from 3-10 sessions led by commissioned professional teaching artists. Youth have the opportunity to work intimately with an artist to learn a variety of art forms. The programs usually culminate in a performance or exhibit where youth can showcase their work. Volunteers sign up to assist the youth and the artist throughout this creative series. This time spent together allows youth to develop an understanding of the art form, the chance to connect with positive adult role models, and to peek into the life of a professional artist. 

Age Requirement: minimum 18, sometimes 21

Time Commitment: 1-3 hours per workshop for 3-10 workshops; volunteers are required attend every workshop in one series.
