Art Room After School provides weekly art workshops throughout the academic school year for Clatsop County youth ages 5–13, and Astoria Visual Arts partners with Art Room to host three weeks of Art Camp in the summer for children ages 5–12. Art Room was founded in 2022 by Astorians Kiley Laws and Chloe Maglio, who serve as co-directors, and Art Room’s former board president is Andrea Mazzarella. In 2022 and 2023, Art Room partnered with Astoria Visual Arts to create summer Art Camps, and in 2023, Art Room launched an after school program. In 2024, Art Room founders and co-directors Kiley Laws and Chloe Maglio received opportunities to advance their art education careers, and in August 2024, Art Room and Astoria Visual Arts made an agreement for Astoria Visual Arts to continue Art Room’s programming.
