ArtStart

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts’ Art Start program offers young children an engaging introduction to visual learning and creative expression. Through weekly sessions that combine story time with a related art activity, preschoolers build visual literacy, spark their imagination, and develop a deeper appreciation for art skills that support confidence and future academic success.

The program also nurtures social and emotional growth. With small classes capped at 10 children, participants receive individualized attention in a warm, supportive setting that encourages communication, cooperation, and respect. Family involvement is required, giving parents and caregivers the chance to support their child’s creative development. Overall, Art Start provides a strong foundation for early learning, social connection, and creative growth.
