Children’s Art Classes

My daughters are very interested in art!  Our refrigerator (and the rest of our house) is covered with their masterpieces.  This inspired me to get together a list of local art studios, museums and schools that offer art classes for children and teens.  As always, please contact me if you have another place to add to this list.  Enjoy!
