River Kids Free After-School Art Program

The Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation’s free after-school art program will begin on August 20, 2026. Open to any child in 1st through 6th grade, the class will meet on Thursdays from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. for the thirteen-week program. Space is limited and reservations are required.

The River Kids Program is designed to encourage children to discover and develop their creative talents. It will expose creativity through drawing, painting, crafts, collage, ceramics, sculpture, and many more exciting techniques. Experienced and accredited educators plan and teach each class.
The program is free but will require a full semester commitment from the parents. It will be filled on a first come, first served basis. To register, call the Southern Cultural Heritage Center business office at (601) 631-2997 or email [email protected].
This free after-school program is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and in part, from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the generous support of the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation individual and corporate members, the City of Vicksburg, and various appropriations.
