Youth Visual Arts

A Program for Young Artists To Inspire Creativity

We are so excited to offer a visual arts program for the youth of Shelbyville. We invite you, your family, and friends to be a part of this wonderful opportunity!

 

The Flight Youth Visual Arts Program engages the creative process through painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, photography, and digital art. We plan to offer a blend of traditional and modern approaches.

 

The program meets on the first Sunday of each month from 2-4 p.m. Initial offerings will focus on beginner to intermediate artists, with a track for the Teen Group (ages 13–18).

Our Flight Youth Visual Arts Program is designed to give young artists a safe, encouraging space to grow, explore, and develop their creative voice with guidance from professional artists.

 

Why art matters: 

Art education builds creativity, confidence, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. Creative expression has been shown to reduce stress, strengthen connection, and support overall learning.

 

Planned programs include:

• Skill and technique classes (painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture)

• Summer Art Camp

• Set design for Emerge and Metamorphosis productions

• Exhibit tours and guided critiques

• Mentorship and apprenticeship opportunities

• Volunteer and community-building events

 

To help us shape programs effectively, please complete the Interest Form. As a volunteer-based nonprofit, parent support is essential, and we’re happy to discuss volunteer opportunities.

 

Thank you for supporting young artists.

 

We look forward to this journey together!
