• Schedule: After school program Monday–Friday from 2:30pm–6pm, Single Day Art Camps on in-service/holidays with drop-off starting at 8:15am and pick-up between 2pm–3pm, and Date Nights on Fridays twice a month from September–May, 6pm–9pm

Students at The Hangout PDX learn fine art skills from professional artists and art educators. The program offers an after school visual art program, in-service and early release day art camps, summer camps, Date Nights, and party rentals that can include a DIY package, curated art project, and balloon house. Camps are described as being for K–5 kids, and Date Nights are described as being for 3–11 year olds who are potty trained. Some offerings combine outdoor action time with indoor artmaking activities, and play-based lessons are included. Gift certificates are available for Date Nights and year-round art camps.
The Hangout PDX states that every kid deserves a high-quality art education targeted to each child’s interests and skillset and that art should be accessible to everyone. The program’s mission statement says it focuses on kids loving their after school care, making their own choices, exploring new ideas, engaging socially, and growing, with a goal that every child leaves with confidence in themselves, the competence of an artist, and a sense of belonging in the community.
Parent testimonials describe staff as kind, supportive, and practicing artists, and mention guided crafts, birthday parties, and summer camps. Parents report that their children enjoy the projects, games, and art concepts introduced, and one testimonial notes that content is described as inclusive, educational, and important. Several parents express appreciation for the program’s role in their children’s school year and creative interests.
