Children may come for multiple weeks and gain new discoveries each session. Students work in large and small groups throughout the day. They will learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate in the arts. This program is designed for children ages 5-7, so parents should be certain their little one is ready for a full-day program. Parents are welcome to stay the first morning until Morning Sing is over. In the event of low enrollment in any given week, it’s possible that Multi-Arts and Artist Discovery classes will be combined.
Idyllwild is an ideal vacation area offering hiking, shopping, many restaurants, and quaint motels and cabins. You can book a vacation for yourself and give your child the gift of the Multi-Arts Day Program.
The Multi-Arts program is open-admission. Instructors will work with your child at their level. Your child will improve and learn new skills, regardless of their level of experience (or lack thereof).

Explore the uniquely classic Hopi technique of silver overlay metalsmithing. Silver overlay, as a technique for conveying traditional Hopi designs in silver, originated in 1938 from drawings produced at the Museum of Northern Arizona. Later, Fred Kabotie (Hopi), a noted former Idyllwild Arts faculty, taught this technique for World War II veterans' classes held from 1947-1951 in Arizona.
