ArtSmart is a free after-school program that serves elementary and middle school students.
Offered in partnership with the Bethlehem Area School District, ArtSmart provides students with the opportunity to explore a variety of artistic disciplines such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media—beyond what’s typically available in the classroom.
Led by professional ArtsQuest Teaching Artists, the program runs in multiple 8-week sessions throughout the school year at the Creative Factory, all designed to build creative confidence, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of the arts. Additional disciplines may include music, poetry, and literacy.
Through our ArtSmart Outreach program, we also bring high-quality, engaging art experiences directly into schools, nurturing the next generation of young artists and thinkers. Outreach opportunities are available year-round, during school hours, after school, and in the summer.
