Express Yourself
Each month, youth take the spotlight through live painting and drawing sessions, giving them a platform to showcase their creativity in a real-world setting. The experience is interactive and community-driven, featuring hands-on activities, raffles, and engaging art contests that invite attendees to participate—not just observe.
In addition to the showcase, ArtHaus merchandise is available, with proceeds directly supporting the youth and future programming. By hosting these events inside local businesses, we bring new energy, foot traffic, and visibility to our partners while creating meaningful opportunities for young artists to grow in confidence and exposure.
This program is where community, creativity, and opportunity come together—every second Saturday.
