Young Artist's Workshop

Our Young Artist's Workshop is not only a wonderful resource for the Midlands community, but an excellent place for USC Art Education students to put what they've learned into practice by teaching and inspiring the next generation of artists.

The Young Artist's Workshop will not take place in the Spring semester of 2026. The classes will resume in the Fall of 2026.  The application will become available late August. We would love to have your children join us!

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.

How do I register my child?

Applications must be printed, completed, and signed by the parent or guardian, and turned in or sent to the YAW Coordinator at the School of Visual Art and Design.
