ART MATTERS
WELCOME TO AFTER-SCHOOL ART LESSONS AT ART MATTERS!  
From September to May, Art classes take place here each week day, Monday-Friday from 4:15 until 5:45 PM.  Located on a wooded acre, Art Matters Studio has both an indoor classroom and an outdoor classroom, where a  wide variety of art activities take place with students K-12. Please fill out the registration form below and indicate the day of the week that best meets your needs.  If we have a spot available at that time, on that requested day of the week, we will contact you and let you know.  Otherwise, you will remain on our waiting list and hopefully something will become available during this current school year.
(By the way, check back to this website near the end of March, when our schedule and our themes for our weekly Summer Sessions will be revealed.  We begin accepting registration for the summer during April of 2025!)

​2025-2025 Registration for After-school Art Lessons
(Scroll down for registration form and photos)



When Art Matters moved from Main Street, in 2020, we no longer wanted to be an art gallery, but we did want to enhance our focus of helping young artists develop their skills.  We moved to an acre of land, where nature could inspire our art.  No longer, a public gallery, we do not feel the need to disclose, publicly, our current address. where children are gathered, often outside, painting 'en plein air'.  Once enrolled, we will share directions to our current location and you can feel free to visit prior to your first class!   
Directly below is a registration form for the weekly after-school program that begins in September of 2024.  We will contact you in August to let you know if you are enrolled in the Fall Art Program.  We accept current students who wish to return and after that, enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis.  Feel free to call if you have any questions: 270-781-0361. 
​Please do not hesitate to leave a message with your contact information.  We will return your call!  Thank you!

"As an artist, who taught art in public schools, for more than a decade, I found I had requests to give private lessons and I originally began Art Matters, in downtown Bowling Green. Gallery events and being part of Main Street was lots of fun.  When we moved from downtown, to an acre of land, we changed our focus to nature and that has become so enriching.  Here are photos of  The New School when we first began in 2020/21."  -T.Xmas

We get visitors sometimes, unless there are allergies.
So glad to be outside again, now that the weather is nice!
We spotted an owl at Art Matters!
We caught this photo of a deer visiting Art Matters!
An acre of land provides a variety of places to hold art lessons outdoors.
Our art lessons are often based on nature, our art is usually inspired by the world around us.

Of course, Art Matters has an indoor classroom as well!
Students still see a lot of familiar things from the old Art Matters- it's just a new arrangement.
Of course we brought all our art materials to The New School!
This is one view of the screened in porch, when it was still in-progress. Art activities take place here during warm months- with lots of fresh air!
Our entire family helped to build the New School. It was a labor of Love.
These folks may do carpentry, but they are actually both Early Childhood experts, who do a lot behind the scenes to make the New School a special place.
