Drawn2Imagine

When we opened the Drawn2Imagine doors in 2010, formerly known as Kids-n-Art, we dreamed about being a staple for art in the Reno community. Now, nearly four years later, we’ve got our footing, we’ve got community support, and we continue to reach more kids looking to express themselves through creativity and art. It’s been no […]

Here at Drawn2Imagine, we often discuss the vast benefits that exposure to the arts has on our youth. While your children look forward to having a blast molding clay, painting with their fingers, drawing with colored pencils, etc., there are countless benefits they are receiving while doing so–most of which are unbeknownst to them.

Nevada Day! What is it and what does it have to do with our kid’s art camp in Reno?? Back in the height of the Civil War, the Union was in need of silver. This presented an opportunity for the Territory of Nevada to help in the war efforts. Nevada contains rich deposits of silver […]

The feel of working clay with your hands is an activity for adults and kids alike, though children aren’t in the least bit sky about getting their hands dirty like some adults might be. Our Clay Creations class in Reno is part of Dramn2Imagine’s regular semester. This means that with enrollment, your child is going […]

Over the past decade and a half, the focus of education has shifted (and not TOWARD the arts). Concerned with failing math and science scores, policymakers have brought education in these fields as the strongest points of interest. Funding was released from the federal government to schools that met certain stipulations regarding their programs. These […]

In our last post we talked about our after school program. It is a program in which we pick your child up from school and treat them to engaging art classes. This program is very popular and the perfect compliment to it is our before school program in Reno. If your child goes to Roy […]
