The Honest Art after-school program is the only local program that sends kids home with two completed projects every day! This means your kids are going to reach the end of the year as far more advanced artists than they started just nine months earlier! Our program includes awesome art instruction, guided homework time, and optional transportation from Ardsley's Concord Road and Middle School. As a bonus, after-school members can enroll in any camp throughout the school year at a 25% discount. We offer two levels of monthly membership for after-school: the Unlimited Pack (3–5 days per week) for $399, and the Flex Pack (1–2 days per week) for $299. After-school transportation is an additional $150 per month. This fee gets you a seat that can be used any day of the week, or every day of the week - changes to days are permitted without notice. (We are no longer able to offer partial week transportation.) To reserve your spot, please make a one-month, non-refundable payment. After your first payment, you can cancel at any time, without any notice requirement.
