CAOS at AVA: Saturdays, 11:30am-4:30pm $5

AVA’s CAOS (Community Arts Open Studio) runs on Saturdays from 11:30am–4:30pm and is open to people of all ages, with children under age 12 requiring the company of a caregiver. A studio monitor will be on hand to inspire, or you can bring your own projects to work on in AVA’s spacious, light-filled Children’s Studio. Basic art supplies will be available. Cost is $5 per person.
The CAOS program is integral to AVA’s ongoing efforts to make the arts accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

I want to let you know how much we appreciate the art open studio (CAOS) program on Saturdays. We love the bright, open and welcoming space. The staff is always very helpful, and we appreciate the wide variety of media that is available to use. This is one of the activities that my daughters Sarah and Lauren especially look forward to doing every week. It’s a time to be creative, get messy, and have fun. Thank you again for making this wonderful program available.
