Art Reach is PAAM Education’s premiere award-winning program for youth.
Designed to support the growth and development of students overtime, from beginner to advanced learner, peer mentor, and teaching artist, Art Reach is comprised of three integrated programs: Art on the Edge (ages 9-11); Art Reach 101 (ages 12-14); and Art Reach Studio (ages 15-19). Each program runs every Saturday over two 10-week semesters (fall & winter). Students may apply to any tier of the program and are not required to participate in a tier before they are considered eligible for the next one. Students may choose to participate in one or two semesters, although participation in both is encouraged. All Art Reach programming is offered free-of-charge, with transportation and materials provided!

Advanced program for new or returning students interested in cultivating their portfolio and deepening their focus and practice. Students will be pushed to explore their creative identity and cultivate intention and direction in and through art making. Students will continue to develop their knowledge of art history and contemporary ideas. Art Reach Studio takes a holistic approach to creative expression and welcomes aspiring artists as well as students not interested in pursuing a future in the arts.
