RRAC school year programming has three 8 week sessions Fall, Winter and Spring. Each session offers different lessons and projects. We also will offer some one time workshops and multi week classes during the school year. RRAC believes in the art making process over the final product.
For kiddos to explore freely, we have a policy that parents aren’t in the classroom. We’ve also found that without guardians in the classroom, students have space to create more organic relationships and connections with others in the class. Parents or guardians may bring their student to the space and help them feel comfortable up to 10 minutes prior to the class start time, then guardians may sit outside of the classroom in our common area space. This way they are reachable if something comes up and the student is assured you are close by.
These classes were previously made possible at a subsidized rate through a grant, which we no longer have. We are able to keep prices consistent by reducing scholarship opportunities. Our top priority is keeping our classes affordable for our community while “keeping our lights on and doors open” amidst rising operating costs.
