Happen Northside
Where the Magic Happens
At Happen Northside, you will have the chance to sharpen your skills and ignite the creative energy between you and a child. No other program will make you think, learn, and create in quite the same way.
All Northside art activities are free of charge. We have space for 10 parent/child teams per session. Seats are limited, so each session is on a first come, first served basis.
*New Fall Hours - Beginning November 3rd*
Happen Northside will continue to be open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 3:30-7:30pm and Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm. The weekday Art Sessions (Tue, Wed, Thu), however, will begin an hour later at 6:00 with the Open Studios times adjusted accordingly. Saturday hours remain unchanged.
