INSTRUCT AND INFORM

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

Meet the VAPA Instructors

The VAPA team at CKM is very supportive of each other’s aspirations for our students and ourselves. All working artists, the VAPA staff works hard to get the students work to the Crocker Art Museum, State Fair and many additional shows and competitions. Equally important is showing our own work. To that end, we showcased work from CKM Staff and CKM students at Old Soul in October of 2016. This unique opportunity allowed students and staff to take pride in the achievements of artists at all stages.
