Youth Art Programs
Explore, create, and connect through art-inspired youth programs that spark creativity and imagination.
Little Tahoe Creators
Let your little artist explore, create, and get inspired by the natural beauty of North Lake Tahoe! Children will discover colors, textures, and shapes through playful, hands-on art activities using leaves, pinecones, rocks, and other natural materials. This class encourages creativity, imagination, sensory exploration, and early art skills in a fun and welcoming environment.
Ages: 3 – 4 years
Days/Time: Tuesdays, 4:00 pm- 4:45 pm
Location: Recreation Center Zone Room
Fee: $150, $120 w/ IVGID Pass
Session: October 13 – December 15
(No Session October 27, November 24)
Caregivers are welcome and encouraged to stay with their child during class. We ask that you give your little artist the freedom to explore, experiment, and create in their own way. Children are capable of so much on their own, and allowing them to discover and try things independently helps build confidence, creativity, and a sense of accomplishment.
Tahoe Young Artists

This class encourages creativity, artistic expression, and confidence while developing new art skills.
