Committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
We believe that the act of creating art is a pathway to self-fulfillment.
We at Articulture are dedicated to nurturing imaginations, sharing valuable and first-hand art knowledge and skills, and cultivating a more inclusive, accessible, intentional, compassionate, creative, free and connected world. We believe art is a holistic tool for personal and social change, and everyone is worthy of experiencing the power and healing of art.
By creating space and access to artists of all ages and skill levels in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities area, we want to ensure as many people as possible are given opportunities to find creative expression through the visual arts. Apart from offering classes to the general public, we also focus on Outreach and Art Healing programs. Current partnerships include: People Serving People Shelter, The Magnet 55+, and Minneapolis Public Schools (for after school programs).
Art programs for children
Our weekend art classes, creative workshops, school release day camps, and week-long, full-day summer camps & programs for children provide opportunities for quality artistic instruction combined with open-ended, imagination-based art projects.
We design our classes to foster creative thinking, enhance motor skills, and provide an outlet for artistic curiosity and sensory development with a variety of art materials.
Art education is essential for holistic growth, cognitive development, and academic learning of a young person.
Our classes, camps, and workshops are designed to allow youth to express their emotions, ideas, and experiences in a safe and constructive environment. We encourage them to think outside the box and develop their personal and unique voices.
Patience and perseverance, boosted self-esteem, and increased cognitive skills are just some of the valuable benefits of their engagement in the arts.
Studies have shown that art education can enhance academic achievement, as it aids in development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which is necessary in all academic learning in addition to gaining important life skills.
Art programs for teens
Art programs for adults
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Regardless of your field, profession, background, or artistic skill level, you will find yourself immersed in this fun, creative, and supportive environment.
It can be the most gratifying way to discover a new passion, reconnect with your inner artist, or expand your existing creative skills, while also, connecting with peers having similar interests and passions.
Stress reduction, mindfulness and presence, emotional expression, and versatility in problem-solving are just some of the great benefits of engaging in creative opportunities as an adult.
