Orange Anchor Art School


Orange Anchor Art School is a place where every human being, no matter their age or skill level, can learn to unlock their creative potential. At Orange Anchor, all are welcome.
Art classes for children start at the kindergarten level and take place after school M-Th. Be sure to check out the latest class schedule here. Adults can also get in on the fun once a week on Wednesdays from 6-7:30 and once a month on Thursdays in our one-off workshops. No experience necessary! Come relax and explore various art techniques and supplies in a fun, energetic atmosphere. Information can be found here.
Parents can enjoy a night off once a month on Fridays and enjoy all the restaurants, taverns, and bars Pawtuxet Village has to offer. Meanwhile, their kiddos get to hang out, create a fun art project, eat pizza and make new friends! Check out the monthly Friday night kids workshops here.
Summer and School Vacation Camps at Orange Anchor are special, curated experiences designed for maximum fun! Many adults have asked to take these camps, but these are for kids! These vary by year and season. Check out the home page for more information.
