What is the Young Artist's Workshop?

The Young Artist's Workshop (YAW) is an enrichment program that teaches the production, evaluation, and appreciation of art to local youth. All classes are taught by USC Art Education students and align with South Carolina Visual and Performing Arts Standards. Classes are offered for children ages 5 - 13 years. They are designed to meet the needs of students in public, private, and home school environments.

Young Artist's Workshop will be held on Friday afternoons from September 27th through November 8th. We will not meet on October 18th due to USC's Fall Break. Please see the downloadable Fall 2024 application below for more details about YAW.
