Art in the Town, co-sponsored by Maine Township and the Brickton Art Center, gives children ages 8-14 the opportunity to experience an art education through qualified art instructors from the Brickton Art Center in Park Ridge. The children will paint, draw, sculpt, and explore different art mediums in an effort to enhance their artistic abilities.

This free program is offered to qualified families based on income. To participate, the student must be eligible and participate in the school lunch program as well as have a written recommendation from the school social worker or art teacher as to need, ability, and interest. A parental consent form is also required. All forms must be received in order to participate. We have 12 spaces available for this program.
