Saturday Art Program
The Saturday Art Program at DAAP is for students in grades K-12 from the Greater Cincinnati community. Saturday Art integrates the act of making meaning with the world in which we live and embraces a diversity of ages, aptitudes, age-related developmental levels, and social cultural perspectives.
If you would like to be notified when the Saturday Art Program registration will be opening, please share your contact information using the link below.
Art inquiry is taught by UC DAAP students preparing for Visual Arts Education licensure in the State of Ohio and supervised by professors of Arts Education. During Saturday Art, students engage in exploration, inquiry and investigation of materials, themes, historical influences, contemporary art practices, and interpretation.

Saturday Art Program Scholarships
Scholarships are available for more than 75% off the session fee and letters will be accepted until January 19th. Scholarship award letters will be sent out the week prior to registration.
Participants who would like to enter to receive a scholarship should have an art teacher send a supportive letter on their behalf to:
Dr. Katherine Smith at smith4kk@ucmail.uc.edu
*Please include parent's contact information
The letter should address the participant’s interest level in visual art and the reasons that a community based art program would enhance his or her education. Parents or guardians of participants are also asked to write a brief statement of why their child should be considered for a scholarship.
Parents should refrain from registering until they have received notice that their child has been granted a scholarship. A discount code for registration will be issued upon notification.
Please note: We will follow the University of Cincinnati policies for weather or other unanticipated closings. Sessions may be canceled based on enrollment.
