C. Kirk Rhein, Jr. Center for the Living Arts (Rhein Center)
Private
The C. Kirk Rhein, Jr. Center for the Living Arts is the arts center at Lakeside Chautauqua, offering summer art classes for all ages, including many geared to children. Kids' offerings include rock painting, sewing, friendship bracelets, duct-tape wallets and easel art, held indoors and outdoors under tents throughout the summer. Classes are short, individually registered sessions rather than a full-day camp, and children under 7 must be accompanied by a caregiver.
