About
Art Room After School & Art Camps offers hands-on projects where students explore new materials. Art Room After School provides weekly art workshops throughout the academic school year for Clatsop County youth. In the summer, Astoria Visual Arts partners with Art Room to host three weeks of Art Camp for children, which also include hands-on art activities.
• Ages: 5–13 years old for Art Room After School; 5–12 years old for summer Art Camp
• Schedule: Art Room After School includes four units throughout the academic year, each lasting six to nine weeks
• Price: These classes are free
Art Room After School supports the social, emotional, and academic growth of Clatsop County youth, and states that every child deserves access to meaningful art experiences, which is why these classes are free. Each unit has a capacity of 25 students, and registration will remain open for new students as long as there is room. One of the instructors, D Valenzuela, speaks Spanish fluently. Art Room was founded in 2022 by Astorians Kiley Laws and Chloe Maglio, who were the founders and co-directors in 2024, and Art Room’s former board president is Andrea Mazzarella.
Art Room offered free art programming in partnership with the Astoria Library. In 2022 and 2023, Art Room partnered with Astoria Visual Arts to create summer Art Camps, and in August 2024, Art Room and Astoria Visual Arts made an agreement for Astoria Visual Arts to continue Art Room’s programming. Astoria Visual Arts partners with Art Room to host three weeks of Art Camp in the summer and partners with Recology Western Oregon for the annual Coastal Oregon Artist Residency (COAR). Astoria Visual Arts is a 501(c)(3) public benefit charity and a qualified Oregon Cultural Trust organization. Sponsors of $100 and above will have their logo included on promotional materials and be included on the summer camp t-shirts.
