Saturday Young Artists Program
The Saturday Young Artists Program is beginning its tenth year here at Southern. Each Saturday pre-service art education majors prepare and teach art lessons to youngsters and adolescents from the Greater Carbondale community. Our program size averages around 25 students per semester. Art instruction is offered to students from kindergarten (five years old) through high school.

The benefits of this program are two-fold: (1) pre-service art teachers gain knowledge and experience in teaching prior to student teaching, and (2) community students without school art programs can obtain continuing art instruction.

Our programs are fully inclusive for students experiencing significant disabilities.
