d'Art Center
About
d'Art Center is a downtown Norfolk artist co-op on Boush Street that runs free youth classes and summer camps alongside its working artist studios.
Programs
- Summer Art Camps - six weeks of themed day camps through the summer
- Youth Classes - school-year sessions across multiple mediums
- Workshops - one-off skill-building sessions for kids and teens
- Family open studio events tied to monthly arts walks
- School and group field trip bookings
What's Included
Admission to the center is free, and the youth program is built around accessibility - many classes run at no cost or sliding-scale tuition. Materials are provided in classes; instruction comes from working artists with studios in the building.
Experience
Kids work in a building filled with active artist studios, so a class might wrap with a stop in a printmaker's or sculptor's space across the hall. The downtown Norfolk location pairs naturally with the Chrysler Museum and the Granby Street arts corridor for full-afternoon family outings.
