Over 200,000 smiling children have taken our programs since 1998.

Gallery Programs offer hands-on educational experiences that not only complement a school’s art curricula, but also increase a child’s self-esteem and appreciation of history, culture, language, math and science. Classes can vary from a glass fusing course with elementary students to the creation of cool ‘zine’ magazines for youth. Skilled programmers with a creative flair and a deep knowledge of the subject matter deliver AHF programs. Ask your local teacher if your child can take one.
