Do you think art is just for play? Not so!

Studies show that exposure to the visual arts gives children valuable life skills and can lead to greater academic success.

Indeed, kids who study the visual arts learn to formulate an informed perception, articulate a vision, build self-confidence and self-discipline and develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. The big bonus with learning through the visual arts is that kids don’t realize they’re “studying” because they’re having so much fun!  Why not give your child a head start on the road to success with classes at Place des Arts? With an abundance of offerings to choose from, Place des Arts has something to fit every child’s abilities and interest.
