Open Studio and Workshops

Drop-in Studio & Studio Play Dates Designed especially for young artists ages 3-12 years old. Children have access to a wide range of inspiring materials and a variety of ways to explore them. Along with special featured activities and materials, centers may include: play dough and clays, drawing, painting and printmaking, beading, collage and construction, and more. Children may move freely between different activity centers, spending as little or as much time as they choose at each. Studio staff does not give formal art instruction; we encourage creative thinking, provide gentle guidance and offer support as needed.

A fun activity for special groups (play groups, scouts & clubs, parties, etc), one-time or ongoing studio play dates can be booked throughout the week!

Times & Reservations Availability varies and advance reservations are required. Please call 516-922-8300 for more details or to reserve a spot. Children younger than four must have an adult onsite. Additional studio hours are also offered during school holidays and vacations. Please see our calendar for the schedule.

The fee for Drop-In Studio is $15 per hour per child, with a 1-hour minimum charge. Accompanying adults are free. A 10-hour studio card can be purchased for $120 and applied toward any combination of one or more children, including relatives, friends, and other guests.

2-hour Workshops Offered during summer and throughout the year. Engaging and playful, workshops often feature some of the best-loved projects & activities from our thematic mini camps, art and science classes. For children grades 1+ unless otherwise specified.

See our Celebrations Brochure or online descriptions for more art and science activities that can be booked as private workshops with a minimum of six participants. Have another idea in mind? We can also create custom workshops for grades 1 and beyond!

Participants must register and pay at least 2 days in advance, to guarantee a spot and to ensure materials for each child.
