Afterschool Residencies 

Afterschool Art in the Schools

MOCHA’s hands-on afterschool art workshops encourage creativity, self-expression, problem-solving and critical thinking. Our lessons are tied to state visual arts standards and are also designed to build students’ skills in language arts, math, science and social science. We provide semester- and year-long residencies as part of comprehensive after school programs. We also offer shorter series of art lessons that are tailored to program needs.

Afterschool Art at the Library
