Acadia Insurance supports Green Street Art and Science AfterSchool Program

The Green Street Arts Center is honored to receive a donation from Acadia Insurance to support our Art and Science AfterSchool Program. The support is much appreciated and our students thank you.

Our integrative classes in art, math, and science foster creativity and build problem-solving skills in a safe space where students can express themselves. We serve students in grades 1 – 8, many of them from the North End of Middletown. Support from organizations like Acadia Insurance allows us to give scholarships so that all children can enjoy our program. You can watch their enthusiasm in the video of last semester’s student showcase.

Registration for spring classes will open soon.

This fall we had exciting new classes for middle school students. In Art with Math, students explored shapes, patterns, and measurement while building spatial skills and creating works of art.  Wesleyan Bound took students to the Wesleyan University campus once a week to tour science laboratories, meet with student groups, participate in special art and cultural activities with the Center for the Arts, and more.

Please call the Green Street Arts Center at 860-685-7871 for more information about our AfterSchool Program or to get on our waiting list for spring registration appointments.

Capoeira Classes starting October 29th

Capoeira is a unique Brazilian martial arts form that brings together music, dance, and acrobatics to build community. You’ll sign, play instruments, and improve your balance and flexibility. You’ll learn to physically and mentally challenge yourself and your opponents while building self-confidence in a game-like environment.

Watch our AfterSchool students perform Capoeira.

Classes run on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm for ages 12-adult. The class is 6 weeks long and meets on 10/29, 11/5, 11/12, 11/19, 11/26, and 12/3.

Registration is required and payment for the full class block, $90, is due at the first class. Call Green Street today at 860-685-7871 or email us at gsac@wesleyan.edu to sign up today.

*A minimum enrollment of 10 people is required to run the class.
