Vision Kids Program

Vision Gallery hosts VISION KIDS, a series of art classes taught by professional artists for kids ages six to sixteen, offered free of charge. VISION KIDS students come from all areas of the Valley and represent a wide array of diverse backgrounds; anyone can participate!

Classes are offered on Saturdays during the school year in morning (10am) and afternoon (1pm) sessions. Our students learn techniques in a variety of media including drawing, watercolor, ceramics, photography, and more! VISION KIDS is designed to inspire children’s creativity and empower them to integrate art into their daily lives.

The VISION KIDS program provides children with the opportunity to work with a professional artist and create a piece of art that is representative of their own creativity. It gives them the opportunity to develop important avenues for self-expression and an understanding of the creative process.

VISION KIDS is made possible through the support of the Chandler Cultural Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization. Your generous donations help to make visual and performance arts accessible to our Chandler community and beyond.

Spring 2026

Registration for Spring 2026 classes opens on Saturday, November 22 at 10am!

We will be hosting in-person classes and one virtual option. Please take note of the following:

  • Classes are held on Saturdays at 10am and 1pm. The virtual class will be held via Zoom.
  • Classes will be released roughly every six weeks. Families may register for one class per release, for a total of up to three classes each semester. If you would like to take additional classes, please join the class waitlists.
  • Register online via Eventbrite.
  • All classes are free to attend, and supplies are provided.

As our programs evolve, we are making a few updates to simplify the Vision Kids registration process:

  • Class Release Dates: The full schedule of classes is available beginning November 15. Registration releases will occur on:
    • November 22
    • January 10
    • March 7
  • Confirmation: One week prior to your class, you will receive a confirmation email, followed by a reminder email on the Wednesday before class. If you do not confirm your child’s registration by Thursday at 5 pm, the reservation will be canceled. Phone confirmations will no longer be accepted.
  • Release Forms: A release form will be attached to both the confirmation and reminder emails. If it is not completed before arrival, it must be completed prior to your child entering the class. Parents who have not completed a release form may not leave their child.

On registration days, visit our

Vision Kids Eventbrite page

and select the class you would like to register for. You may review full class details in advance on the same page.

Families may register for one class per release, for a total of up to three classes each semester. Registrations exceeding three classes per semester will be canceled.

Notice: Our Vision Kids contact information has changed.
