We focus not only on improving technique but providing programs that promote self confidence, fun, kindness, community, and healthy living habits. We hope that you will join us!

"I LOVE my job! It is an honor and a privilege to teach and guide my students on their journey through the arts. Producing events where their handwork is highlighted and celebrated is my absolute favorite thing to do! Of course, none of this would be possible without my amazing team of teachers and administrators. City Park Movement and Art has always had the most dedicated and passionate staff. I appreciate them and the rest of our community more than could ever be expressed in words!"

"The relationships created at CPMA are beautiful. The students become closely bonded friends. Some of the students have been growing and learning together for over 10 years. The families become a tight knit community too! The opportunity to relate to these children through art is so heart warming. Myself and the other teachers also love the long term relationships that we get to nurture with our students. We get to see our students year after year rather than just working with them for one year and passing them on. It's a beautiful thing to watch them grow and blossom!

"I am striving to provide a place where everyone feels happy and welcome, an escape from our day to day lives, a place where your problems melt away as you walk thru the front door, a place full of laughter, friendships, confidence, and imagination. I want the City Park Movement and Art community to feel like your extended family."
