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.
