Visual arts teacher, Mrs. Kari Slater, is incredibly enthusiastic about art (obviously), teaching and being around children.  She has this perpetual excitement when she teaches.  Her classroom is full of energy as well as a passion for creativity.  SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES and the children just love her!

Her ART SAMPLER classes are extremely popular.  She has a lot of “repeat customers”.  It is a continually evolving fine arts curriculum providing a personal and focused opportunity for young artists.  Ages 6 and up are welcome.

The next WINTER ART SAMPLER begins on Mondays beginning 1/10 from 4:15 to 5:15.  It’s the perfect after school activity!

If this sounds like a great fit for your budding artist, REGISTER ONLINE TODAY!

Here we go!   One decade down.  Many more to go!  2011 will mark our next decade of providing visual, literary and performing arts opportunities for all ages.   For 10 years we have provided the Southeastern WI communities with quality programming.  Here is a peek at our newest offerings.

Happy Autumn, Everyone!

Moving into our next decade of programming, we are excited to not only work to expand our offerings but to  look closely at what we are currently doing and refine to make improvements.

Being a part time operating organization, we are constantly seeking the most timely, efficient means of communication in all areas to serve you best. We are making some changes within the office. One procedure you can expect is that if NSAA receives a call or voice mail during the weekdays, Monday through Thursday, it will be responded to by the end of the next business day by an office staff person.  

Additionally, Debbie Knuth has taken on the role of Stagekids Community Coordinator to answer all quesitons about any of our Stagekids shows. To reach someone most expediently, please use the following contacts. In addition, the office hours are posted below, so feel free to stop up in the office during those hours. 
 
We look forward to continuing to grow in all ways. Your suggestions, support and continued interest in the arts is always appreciated.  

Thank you.

Sheri Bestor, Founder, President, North Shore Academy of the Arts, Inc.

Our Visual Arts Department has some exciting news!  Due to a series of grant money, we will be able to bring two exciting visual arts events to the Southeastern WI area. 

Our Midwest photographic arts event SATURATION received a generous grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund.    

ARTIST IN MOTION, held at the Bayshore Town Center throughout the summer is supported in part by a grant from the WI ARTS BOARD with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. 

North Shore Academy of the Arts is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that serves all ages in the visual, literary, and performing arts.  We are an affiliate member of the United Performing Arts Fund and have been serving southeast WI for a decade.
