In the Young Artists Program (YAP), Fleisher offers low-cost classes for young people ages 5 to 18 designed to develop artistic skills, foster engagement with the arts, encourage self-expression, and build confidence as a creative person. Over 100 classes in a range of media are offered throughout the year, allowing children and youth to experience hands-on art-making in a supportive and enriching environment.

The Young Artists Program has a tiered program fee. Alongside the non-refundable $65 base program fee, please consider paying an additional amount (up to $130 total) during the registration process. Opting to pay the higher program fee allows the program's base fee to stay accessible to more Philadelphians. Payment is due at the time of registration. If you need to pay with cash or check, you may select the Pay Later option during checkout. If cost is a barrier, please email cy@fleisher.org.

Medium Description
Students will develop their photographic eye, and make images that tell stories while capturing their own point of view. Young artists will learn how to use a camera, how to load, shoot, and develop film, and how to create and develop prints in the darkroom.

YAP Darkroom Photography classes are supported by the The Forman Family Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation.
