Calling All Parents!
Need a break? Take the night off while we take care of the kids! Drop them at Earthplace for an exciting evening focused on a unique nature theme. Cheese pizza and popcorn will be provided, and children may bring nut-free snacks.

August 14 – Tie-Dye Time: We’ll make tie-dye t-shirts outdoors, and experiment with using flowers and leaves for dyeing. After, we’ll play games and meet some Earthplace animals with interesting color patterns.

Summer Arts Adventures for ages 5–7 is a joyful, all-day creative program where every week is a brand-new adventure. Each day is packed with fun, hands-on activities that invite young artists to imagine, experiment, and create in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Participants will paint, draw, build, stitch, sculpt, and explore art from around the world while getting their hands messy (in the best way!). With guidance from experienced teaching artists, kids build confidence, make new friends, and discover the joy of creative play. Days also include games, outdoor time, and special adventures, including field trips to nearby parks and museums.

In our fully-equipped art studios, young artists can experiment with clay, comics and cartoons, painting, photography, printmaking, bookmaking, sewing, sculpture, and more.

Fees: $495 per week.
Weekly after care is available from 4:00 – 5:30 pm for $90 / week.

Enjoy a sweet reward while shopping at The Shops at Yale and the Whitney-Audubon District. From August 7–23, 2026, shoppers who spend $50 or more at participating retailers receive a complimentary cup of ice cream from Arethusa, Ashley’s, or Vía Láctea. It’s the perfect excuse to explore shops, support local businesses, and enjoy a refreshing treat while discovering everything Downtown New Haven has to offer.
