Art Center of Burlington

Teen Classes

Teens Enjoy Art Too!

We are here to provide an environment in which teens can challenge themselves to develop and refine their techniques in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

Gallery Scavenger Hunt

While you are here, do our Gallery Scavenger Hunt!

Giving kids an appreciation for art encourages exploration, self expression, logical thinking, self-esteem, imagination, and creativity. We’ve made up a fun little scavenger hunt for your family to do together at the Art Center! Just stop by the front desk anytime for the scavenger hunt.
