In the Children's Gallery we exhibit art works from children inclusively. This Gallery and its art programs aim to enhance a child's emotional stability, self-esteem, communication skills and assist them overall to become more emotionally grounded. We are a clinically documented program with results. Various school departments, psychologists, clinicians, group homes, state and National Police Associations have all enthusiastically endorsed our programs for children inclusively. Based on the past 12 months, approximately 470 children have been given the opportunity to participate in The TSETSE Children's Gallery art programs, which inspire healthy creative expression!

The TSETSE Gallery provides a variety of multi-disciplinary classes and camps which include painting, drawing, sculpture, design, mixed media and much more! Children's spirits soar from the unforgettable experience of exhibiting in the Children's Gallery. Come join us for creativity, fun and new friendships!

Artistic Beginnings on Saturdays

A wonderful Saturday art program for youth ages 7 - 15. Children explore a variety of multi-media projects which include painting, drawing, sculpture, design and much more. Classes are open to the public.

Harmonious Art

Children in State care explore their artistic expression by decorating furniture for their residences as well as creating tactile art pieces such as artistically designed telephones, 3-D mirrors and funky painted clothing. Collaboraters work with the Gallery to determine appropriate class scheduling.

School Break Day Camps

TSETSE Day Camps are weeklong programs filled with art education and creation in a "FUN" environment. The camp runs Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with different activities each week. By having a maximum class size is 7 students, ages 7 - 15 children are able to create individualized projects with individualized teaching assistance.

School Day & After-School Programs

These successful programs are designed for children who have a variety of individual needs and challenges. These children are often overlooked for enrichment programs because of major challenges they present both motivationally and behaviorally. The children we serve flourish in these programs as we work to enhance their self-esteem and communication skills and guide them towards being more emotionally grounded. These programs are clinically documented to enhance the emotional stability of students with individual needs. Since 1995, the Gallery has partnered with a number of public and private schools in providing these programs. The Gallery is actively developing new collaborations with additional school departments to expand our outreach to include additional children. Classes are offered throughout the school year and are tailored to the school curriculum.
