Art Pals pairs students in Grades 3-5 (Little Pals) with teen mentors (Big Pals) to explore the world of art together. Participants learn about influential artists, discover their unique styles and techniques, and then experiment with the same mediums through hands-on projects. By combining art history, creativity, and peer collaboration, Art Pals builds artistic skills, encourages self-expression, and fosters meaningful connections between younger students and teens in a fun, supportive environment.

The Autumn 2026 Reynolds Art Pals begins with training on Monday, August 31, from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Volunteers will meet weekly with their Little Pal from Monday, September 14 through Monday, October 19, 4:30 - 6 p.m. at Reynolds Library.

Register for volunteer training through GivePulse. 

Artists and projects TBD.
