About
Kiddos Art Classes and Free After-School Art offers free after-school art adventures where kids can explore crafts and fine arts. The program includes specific options such as a One-Shot Wheel Throwing Class for kiddos, a Kids: Painting Class, a Kids: Drawing Class, and free sessions featuring light-up cards, Pipe Cleaner Trees, Perler Beads, and Glass on Glass Mosaics. During the free after-school art classes, kiddos are offered materials to explore, and parents are encouraged to hang out in the studio while refraining from doing the work for their kids.

The Macoupin Art Collective states that it believes access to quality art instruction is crucial to every person's intellectual, emotional, and social development, regardless of financial situation or demographic, and that kids should be allowed to explore materials and processes so each project is uniquely theirs. It also states that art is not always about taking home a perfect finished product, but about playing with new tools and materials, socializing with friends, autonomy, free-thinking, and making something of their own, and that creativity should be accessible to all. The Macoupin Art Collective notes that it has a traveling art bus, thrifter’s treasures, a variety of community events, and offers volunteer opportunities, teaching roles, and scholarships.
