Year-round, the RISD Young Artists Program provides a strong grounding in art + design while encouraging creative and personal growth through self-expression. Each course creates a dynamic environment where students build self-confidence along with a foundation of creative and technical skills. Classes are offered evenings and weekends-even during school vacation-and utilize RISD's unique facilities, including studio space, the RISD Museum, the RISD Nature Lab, and Tillinghast Farm in Barrington.
