Showcase Your Creativity

Opportunities run the gamut for participants to explore and showcase their creativity in the arts at the Naperville Park District. From hands on programs like pottery and painting, to acting opportunities like improv and theater, participants from youth to adult can explore their interests, grow their talent and uncover their passions through the discovery of a new creative outlet.

Some examples of youth arts programs offered include:

  • Cooking: Goodies for Teens
  • Drums for Beginners
  • Family Pottery
  • Laugh Out Loud Improv
  • Young Rembrandts Drawing Workshop
