New National Art Program Comes to Southwestern PA for First Time

A New Art Adventure comes to SWPA! Young Rembrandts view drawing as a skill that can and should be learned by all children. This innovative drawing program is available for the first time to local school districts.

Founded in 1988, Young Rembrandts is a nationally recognized leader in art education with 61 locations in 47 states. Cynthia Oliver recently joined as the newest executive director for the SWPA territory.

Any child can learn and enjoy drawing using the Young Rembrandts method and at the same time develop spatial reasoning, fine motor skills, visualization, and self-discipline.

Young Rembrandts partners with pre-schools & elementary schools to augment their art education program for children ages 3  12. Young Rembrandts has a solid reputation for teaching an original, high quality curriculum. Classes are generally 45  50 minutes in length and are held on-site at your childs school directly after school. The affordable fees range from $8.50 - $10.50 per class, are family funded and include all materials.

The visible academic and art benefits are so great for children participating in our program. Young Rembrandts students have fun while developing fundamental art literacy and improved abilities on many levels, Oliver contends . Our vision is to raise generations that value the power, passion and significance of art, she concluded. Recently a local Young Rembrandts student won first place in the Westmoreland Intermediate Units Champions of Art Competition.
