Kala’s adult education programs connect communities of learners. We provide unique studio opportunities that align with Kala’s overall mission to help artists sustain their creative work. Kala classes are taught by working artists and utilize our exceptional equipment. Develop a new skill, build on previous experience, or take a class just for fun! Private group instruction and tutoring sessions are also available.

Join Kala’s After School Studio for fun art making throughout the school year!
Designed for artists in grades TK-5
Tuesdays & Thursdays from 2:30-5:30pm

We offer two snacks per day and lots of hands-on project activities. There are focused art lessons every day and several free choice activities in a variety of media (drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, etc.). Our instructors are practicing artists, and child whisperers, who know when the kids need to go outside to play on the grass. Instructors read books, play games and listen to music to create a fun, responsive and supportive environment for all students.

BUSD offers transportation from BAM, Oxford, Cragmont and Washington elementary schools.

Kala’s Artists-in-Schools (AIS) program connects professional artists, many from our Artist-In-Residence Program, with K-12 students and teachers throughout the East Bay Area (Berkeley, Oakland, and Emeryville). Kala Teaching Artists work in classroom residencies during the school day, in after school programs and in collaborative community settings.
