HCAC’s Kids Art Club’s mission is to ignite and nurture creativity in the youth of Haywood County! Art is a fantastic outlet for problem-solving and self-expression. Join us for a variety of classes, each exploring a unique medium and topic. Kid’s Art Club meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Pay per class and let your child’s imagination run wild!
Class Instructor: Rumi Kakareka
Class Description: Kid’s Art Club builds basic art skills and confidence by offering a broad range of art experiences. Each session is centered on a different project; hence, different materials and tools will be explored. The basic flow is an intro, exploration (30 min), group/team challenge (30 min), and cleanup. Anything we do, everyone can do (modified as necessary).

Meet Rumi!
Currently pursuing puppetry and art facilitation. I love working with groups!
On the art side, I’ve a passion for sculpture, working with paper, and performing. I worked as a docent for many years in the African Art Smithsonian, giving tours to school groups. I have led mask-building and puppet-building workshops for kids and adults in DC and locally. I’m a certified Interplay leader (group improv movement, storytelling, and singing), a musician and songwriter for puppets, and have 20+ years working with adults and juniors as a tennis teaching pro.
I love facilitating group art challenges!
