The visual arts play a vital role in the development and learning of children from preschool all the way through high school. Sweetwater is committed to providing quality art education for students of all ages and backgrounds, and believes that the arts enhance children’s appreciation and understanding of the world around them. Our goal is to enrich students’ comprehension of organizational principles, perceptions and art techniques through our field trips and programs.
Sweetwater Field Trips/School Workshops: Sweetwater offers a variety of Field Trips for area preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools as well as groups of home-schooled students. This is a great opportunity for children and young adults to be exposed to the world of art through their local art center.
All Field Trips include a tailored, hands-on art activity of your choosing, as well as an optional 30 minute tour of Sweetwater. The 100-year old building’s rich history as a historic landmark will introduce students to how the art center functions on a day to day basis as students explore the center’s various art studios and gallery.
