About Us
Art Events for All Ages
Want to try something new? Meet new artists? We have classes in crochet, sewing, and more.
STREAMLines Initiative
STREAMLines is the initiative for young artists in Currituck County and neighboring areas. We offer art programming that includes elements of science, technology, rhetoric, engineering, art, and mathematics with a focus on practicing creativity. While we focus heavily on the "art" aspect, all of these themes work together to create a well-rounded education program.
Programs designed for children include "Streamlines" in the name.
