"I love going to the art classes at Cultivate! We get to try so many cool things. The teachers are really nice and help us if we don’t know what to do. I like that we can make mistakes and try new things without worrying about getting it perfect. My favorite part is showing my art to my family at the showcases—they always tell me how proud they are. I can't wait for the next class!"

""Finding a quality art program for my homeschooling kids has been a challenge, but Cultivate’s art classes have been a game-changer for us. The classes are diverse and engaging, allowing my kids to explore different art forms in a way that's fun and educational. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in their creativity and problem-solving skills, and they’re always eager to share what they've made. The program has really enriched our homeschooling experience by providing a creative outlet that we couldn’t offer at home."
