Grades 3-8
CAP Studio Artists Spring Workshop Series
Led by Ashlee Collins
In-Person
CAP Studio Artists is an immersive visual art program designed for young creators ready to take their artistic practice to the next level. Over eight sessions, students will elevate their foundational art skills while developing their own unique creative voices. Through guided exploration, they’ll learn to connect deeply with a chosen medium or process—such as drawing, painting, sculpture or mixed media—and refine their craftsmanship through focused, hands-on studio work.
Each session combines structured technique building with space for personal experimentation and reflection, encouraging students to think critically and express themselves authentically.
At the end of the program, every artist will present one completed piece in CAP’s Visual Art Showcase, professionally installed and exhibited in a local gallery—celebrating their growth, mastery and creative journey.
*Course Schedule:
1/10, 1/24, 2/14, 2/28, 3/14, 4/11, 4/25, 5/9
CAP has partnered with Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church for this program. Classes will be held at 4001 Hendricks Avenue, 32207
January 10 – May 9, 2026
