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 café or common area space. This way they are reachable if something comes up and the student is assured you are close by.
Rumriver Art Center is a non-profit organization. For all of our classes we have a minimum number of 8 students that we need to register for a class in order for it to run. Please don’t wait to register. We make the decision to run or cancel classes usually a week before the classes are scheduled to begin. Thank you!
These classes are made possible at a subsidized rate by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
