Because of limited space, there is a selection process, and we will carefully evaluate all applications. Once the cohort has been selected, we will notify all applicants about their status.

Due to generous donations for our spring program, we can now offer partial scholarships to all participants, bringing the cost of the program to $525. This fee covers all aspects of the program, including curriculum instruction, a workbook, professional book illustrations, graphic design for the interior pages and cover, all necessary supplies, and healthy snacks during classes. Payments can be made in two installments: the first $262.50 during the onboarding process after your child is offered a spot in the cohort, and the remaining $262.50 by March 7th.

We believe this innovative program will offer significant benefits to young creatives, helping them build foundational skills that will serve them well in their future career paths. We’re excited to embark on this creative journey with your child and look forward to seeing what they will achieve.
