HUB

WELCOME
This special Avenue Road Arts School creative area is a place where people can continue to learn, engage and connect with the Arts School, remotely.
Geared to children, their parents, adults and those who want to continue to create and exercise creativity during these days of social distancing, the Virtual Creative Hub will offer free activity ideas including art lesson plans for kids, creative exercise for teens and adults, resources and creative links and short video demos.
Check back often, as we will have daily additions and more content for your creative enjoyment.
