KIDCASSO
INSPIRING CREATIVITY AFTER SCHOOL
Welcome to KidCasso.
Our vibrant youth program at the Firehouse is designed to ignite creativity and foster a love for the arts. KidCasso offers four engaging workshops each year. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space where kids can explore their imaginations, develop new skills, and build confidence through artistic expression.
🎨 Winter Season: Sketchbook Society
January – February 2025 | Grades 4th–8th | Tuesdays | 4:00–5:30 PM
Kick off the new year with creativity! Our Winter program, Sketchbook Society, introduces students to a range of drawing tools and sketching techniques, all while encouraging self-expression and growth. Over four weeks, young artists will learn how to “build up” a piece from concept to final creation. Each student will take home their own sketchbook — filled with the beginnings of an artistic journey they can continue well beyond the season.
