Carlsbad Art Farm is hosting six open house studio events for students Grades 2-8 over the first three weekends in December. Students are invited to come to Art Farm  to make presents for family and friends for the holidays while enjoying our 10-acres preserve in central Carlsbad. Please look at our schedule below for event dates and times (click headline for complete post). Attendance is by RSVP only. Space is limited so early reservations are recommended. Fee is $40 per student per session date, plus and additional $5-$15 per project completed. Parents enrolling siblings concurrently will receive a discount enrollment rate of $25 per each additional child. The per project fee remains the same. Depending on the projects selected, students will have time to finish 1-3 projects per visit.

In addition to making holiday gifts for friends and family, students will have time to simply enjoy Art Farm. Visits with our farm animals, time on our tire swing, walks down the creek-side trail (weather permitting), and sinfully delicious holiday treats are all part of the fun. And naturally, it's always fun to come with friends so don't be shy about getting the word out for us.
