Explore art concepts, materials and techniques in a creative art school environment. Classes are appropriate for students at all levels, from beginning to those working on their portfolios.

The Danforth’s Teen Program includes courses throughout the year and week-long intensive summer courses for teens considering art school or wanting to learn and improve art skills. Classes are taught by professional artists; many Danforth instructors also teach art in local colleges such as the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Montserrat College of Art, Mass College of Art and Design, Rhode Island College and Framingham State University. High school students are also invited to take adult studio classes with permission of instructor.
