There are different classes by age group, and we encourage students to start with their age group regardless of skill level and then adjust from there.

Is the space wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately we are the 2nd floor of a 100 year old building, and there is a flight of stairs that will need to be climbed to access the North Star Art Club.
We are happy to assist in carrying a wheelchair up those steps and make every accommodation possible for students that need support.
