Dougherty After School

Creativity Club After School Arts

Creativity Club is an after school program held at the Dougherty Arts Center (DAC). Students engage in arts lessons in various areas of visual and performing arts. The goal is to provide students with a supportive, collaborative space to express themselves creatively.

Creativity Club runs concurrently with the AISD schedule. 5-year-olds may attend if enrolled in kindergarten. Pack a nut-free snack for your student specifically for after school. Arrival times can vary depending on transportation. The program ends at 6pm. Our student-to-teacher ratio is 12:1, and students will be split into groups based on age.
