Why Choose ECCA

Why choose ECCA for art classes and after school enrichment?

• ECCA has been providing high-quality, fine and studio arts education, development, and children's programming in the seacoast area for over 12 years.
  
• All of our teachers are professional, teaching artists, who are certified to teach art and/or have degrees in art.
• We have accomplished, professional artists teaching our adult classes and workshops.
  
• Our focus is on creativity and process, fostering the individual's experience. We encourage all students to experiment and enjoy the process of working with all materials.
• Our kids' classes develop confidence, problem solving, individualism, and creativity.
• ECCA classes teach techniques, skills, and mediums of fine and studio arts, as well as some fine crafts. We do not teach "arts & crafts." Kids use the same materials in producing their art that artists use.
• Art classes are a fun and enriching way to spend out-of-school time, through ECCA's no school day, school vacation, and summer camp programs.

We will be offering this class again in January, so keep posted for the Winter/Spring brochure, coming soon.
