North Star Art Club offers summer art camps and after-school art classes for kids in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, with small classes and materials provided. Camps are grouped by grade — mini camps for ages 8 and under (caregiver required for the youngest) and multi-day summer camps for students entering 3rd–5th, 6th–8th, and high school. The focus is hands-on art instruction with individual feedback.

★★★★★Kelly MooreMy 12 year old LOVES North Star Art Club's weekly middle school club. She has unlimited freedom to unleash her creativity, but also guidance and support if she needs a starting point. Since joining the club, she's been super motivated to keep drawing, painting, and doing visual arts at home - I think it's fair to say that North Star has really supercharged her creativity. The people who run North Star Art Club are gems and this business is such a wonderful asset to our community!
★★★★★Kristen Simmons IngleMy kids (ages 11 & 6) both love spending time at North Star Art Club. My son has enjoyed learning watercolor techniques and made beautiful snow globe cards for his school teachers using inspiration from class. My daughter absolutely loves all of the projects in Art Buddies and celebrated her birthday in the art space. It's not just the art that they love, it's the community Richelle is cultivating. We are so grateful to have this wonderful art space in our neighborhood.
★★★★★Kelly KozarekNorth Star Art Club was an amazing experience for my 7th grader an her group of friends. She learned techniques and methods that she loved exploring. The summer camp had lots of fun projects and themes and was very engaging. She was always looking forward to attending each day! High recommend!
★★★★★Jennifer SmithI can’t say enough how special it is to create with my daughter at Art Club “Caregiver and Me” class. We have been to many classes and love the way we learn and create. North Star is celebrates creativity over perfection, while also teaching new skills, even for my 4 year old! Can’t recommended these classes enough.
★★★★★Linea PalmisanoWe love Northstar Art Club! My older son is a huge fan of Ms Norton, his former art teacher, and her new space is often our option for our 8 yr old’s out of school days. It’s a blend of chill and exciting… perfect for him. I’m always impressed at the quantity and quality of what he brings home- definitely learning about art history and media in many different and fun ways. She’s great at making sure every participant is going at their own pace. We also did a summer “Poisonous Creatures” camp week that was a blast and he came home with new biology/art appreciation that only a talented team like this can really create in terms of curriculum- just my opinion!
