Art clubs for primary school children
We also organize art clubs – fun and inspiring afterschool art clubs – in primary schools. These clubs emphasize creativity, encouragement, and teamwork, and make it easy to enjoy art near the child's own school day.
You can apply to kuviskerhot at any time during the school year through Eepos.
