Weeklong Teen Art Academy Starts July 29

Artist Kip Rogers will lead the session.

Teens ages 13 to 17 will get the chance to learn about the principals of design, drawing, painting and mixed media when Alpharetta's Parks & Rec Department hosts its Teen Art Academy.

The session will be held July 29 through Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Alpharetta Arts Center.

The academy will be taught by Kip Rogers, a well-known artist and instructor, who will guide the students through hands-on demonstrations and class discussions.  

“This mini-art academy is geared towards the more serious teenage artists who are interested in taking pre-AP or Advanced Placement Studio Art classes in school,” said Nancy Suttles, Arts Coordinator in a press release.
