HIGH SCHOOL ART CLUB
The High School Art Club at the Delaplaine is a school-year-long afterschool program for students who seek a deeper art education experience. Club members will benefit from a peer-oriented visual arts environment, where they can create new artwork, work on in-progress school or personal projects, discuss long-term goals, learn from professional artists, and more. The program will culminate in a group exhibition of the club’s artwork, which members will curate and design.
Members
Club members are current high school students (grades 9–12, public, private, or homeschool) who are interested in pursuing higher education and/or a career in the arts, students who seek a challenging art education experience, and/or students who thrive in an artistic environment with like-minded, goal-oriented peers. The club will have no more than about 15 members at a time.
Schedule
The club meets 3:30–5:15 pm twice a month, every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, September through May, except holidays and spring break. In the 2025–26 school year, these sessions are: Sep 11, Sep 25, Oct 9, Oct 23, Nov 13, Dec 11, Jan 8, Jan 22, Feb 12, Feb 26, Mar 12, Mar 26, Apr 23, May 14, May 28. The club will be visited by a guest artist each month.
Commitment & Communication
Due to the nature of this program, regular attendance is expected. The work created each month is cumulative and will be included in the club’s end-of-year exhibition. If your student is unable to come to a club meeting, please notify Jillian MacMaster as soon as possible. Your dedication to the club is appreciated.
Important communication is made through email with parents and guardians, which includes meeting reminders and other notes. Please be sure that you can receive emails from the Delaplaine staff.
Cost
Club dues for the full year is $100, which covers the cost of guest artists and shared art supplies.
