Art City in St. James Town opened its doors on December 2000 as a not-for-profit organization committed to providing after school art programs to children of elementary school age. The art programs are intended to foster creative thinking and nurture self-esteem and personal accomplishment. The studio is in a storefront space located beneath a high-rise apartment complex. It is highly visible and accessible. The space provides a safe non-discriminatory environment, dedicated to providing opportunities for the young people of St. James Town. We invite input and feedback from the parents, caregivers and other community members that influence and participate in the everyday lives of these children.
