Kids’ Recycled Art Club
Where trash becomes treasure!
And process is valued over product.
Join Missy Arellano this fall as we continue to explore all types of materials and the potential they hold to unlock creativity. Kid’s Recycled Art Camp was a huge success, so we are piloting a run of classes for kiddos during the school year in the community. If you are not familiar with the Kid’s Recycled Arts Camp, you can find more information here.

Kid’s Recycled Arts Camp was featured in the Belmont Voice!
Belmont resident Ciara Glenmullen’s six-year-old daughter, who attended the camp, loved this structure.
“She said it was her favorite camp she did this summer,” said Glenmullen. “She loved [the freedom] to take the art in whatever direction she wanted to.”
