What is Art Hour?

Art Hour is our art-education initiative, offering virtual learning opportunities for DC youth grades K-12 in artistic disciplines ranging from instrumental/ vocal music, creative writing, visual arts, photography, graphic design, and more! Our organization functions as a platform for connecting and empowering local teaching artists and youth through the arts. Teaching artists bring their expertise to inspire youth to hone a new skill, create in times of crisis, and build self-confidence. Accessibility is at the core of our mission; classes are subsidized by a sliding scale payment system based on household income. We’re also offering scholarships for kids of essential workers.

Partnerships.

Our current community partnerships are with Serve Your City DC and The Social Justice School. If you are interested in partnering with Art Hour, or offering our programming within your organization, please contact admin@arthour.org.

We are always looking for donations to fund teaching artist salaries, class supplies and student scholarships. We’re accepting donations via Cashapp, Venmo, or PayPal. Visit our donation page for more details.
