Art Afternoons offer a safe, supportive place to gather after school. Sessions include a healthy snack, time to connect with peers, optional outdoor breaks (weather permitting), and casual, discussion-based art learning. Teens will talk with artists about their work and inspiration, with opportunities for skill-building depending on the week’s guest artist.
This program also supports local artists by giving them space to share their practice, build community, and engage with youth in meaningful ways.

WRCC is a place for making, learning, and connecting. We believe creativity belongs to everyone and that our community is stronger when people with different identities, experiences, perspectives, and abilities are able to participate and create alongside one another.
We value curiosity, generosity, collaboration, and respect. We ask everyone who uses our spaces to treat one another with care, respect differences, share space thoughtfully, and contribute to an environment where people feel welcome and safe.
We are committed to reducing barriers to participation and do not tolerate discrimination or harassment.
WRCC is a shared community. We all have a role in caring for its people, spaces, tools, and resources, and in helping it continue to grow and evolve.
