PoMoArts offers over 350 classes (and summer camps) per year in visual arts (think painting, drawing and cartooning), music, ceramics, drama, and more to kids and adults alike! They also have a monthly Kids Only Night so you can go out for dinner while your child creates art (talk about a win-win). Registration for fall classes opens at the end of August.
