Community Outreach Program:

Through generous support, the Water Street Studios Community Outreach Program has fully funded scholarships for art classes for 25 children since the Fall of 2010. Through these scholarships, students without financial means to pay have explored welding, photography, ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking and mixed media. In addition to these funded classes, Water Street Studios also offers Art Flow, our afterschool art program. Art Flow provides art activities to pre-K through 8th grade students at Batavia Apartments and reaches area high school students every Thursday afternoon at Water Street Studios. All of these programs exemplify our mission to bring art education and appreciation to all residents of the Fox Valley area. For more information about Community Outreach or if you are interested in helping to support the program, please contact Jim Kirkhoff, Development Director, 630.761.9977.
