We offer three Teen Clubs at the Lyndon House Arts Center!
Teen Club Sessions (2025–2026)
We have now moved to a 4-session per year format. You will need to register for each session individually to attend all year.
Please note the following dates:
There was some confusion about Teen Club times: All Teen Clubs operate from 5:30-7:30 PM on their respective days. They do not start at 4 PM ever. Thanks!
- Session 1: September 2 – October 31 (9 weeks)
- Session 2: November 13 – December 18 (5 weeks)
- Session 3: January 13 – April 2 (12 weeks)
- Session 4: April 14 – May 21 (6 weeks)
Teen Club members will need to register for all four sessions to participate year-round.
A new registration is required for each session, see links below.
All teens must be checked in and out by a parent or guardian with the Teen Mentor in their studio, unless we have a signed Age 12+ Walk Home Authorization Form on file allowing independent arrival and departure. For more information, please contact us: william.stephanos@accgov.com
-Teen Fashion Design & Sewing Club Our talented teaching artist, Tabitha Fielteau continues to contribute mentorship and valuable design and fabrication instruction. The club meets in the Lyndon House Arts Center's wonderful fiber studio with lots of sewing machines and all the tools needed to focus on design and sewing projects. Learn how to go from design to garment with the guidance of a professional fashion designer. Already having basic sewing skills is a bonus, but this program is open to beginners as well.
-Teen Cartoon & Illustration Club Our talented teaching artist and professional illustrator Robert Brown, continues to contribute wonderful lessons in drawing techniques, storytelling, cartoons/comics, Anime, Star Wars and everything Pop Culture. Robert has been mentoring this club for over 15 years.
-Teen Media Arts Club Our Teen Media Arts Club Mentor is Kidd Fielteau! With a background in beauty and fashion photography Kidd now runs Athens based Fell2 Photography. Students will engage in the process of videography by forming their own story ideas and then creating and editing digital video. Our long-term goal is to build media arts skills that support a variety of career options, higher order thinking, problem-solving, creativity, cultural experiences, and historical events in a global learning context. In addition we provide a safe place for young people to learn, have fun and create meaningful projects.
LHAC Teen Clubs (12 years and older), are free, but online registration is required. The clubs operate on a "drop-in" basis, meaning that if you are available to participate in a club meeting, that is great, and if not, you can just skip it without having to register for specific dates, or having to cancel.
The Teen Fashion Design & Sewing Club hosts beatiful fashion shows in the big Atrium Gallery at the Arts Center. They are open to the public and are always a lot fo fun.
The Teen Media Arts Club routinely hosts film screenings and other avenues. These are also open to the public. Look for announcements for these events.
Teen Clubs are financially supported by the Lyndon House Arts Foundation and are offered free of charge to our teen participants. AthFest Educates helped to found these clubs though generous grants to the Arts Center that enabled us to purchase video equipment, sewing machines, recording equipment, lighting and more.
Please have your teen bring $5 (cash only) for pizza. If they prefer to bring their own food, you can skip the $5. We will eat outside when possible.
Our teen clubs provide a safe & nurturing place for young people to gain life skills, to learn, and have fun while creating meaningful relationships with mentors while gaining valuable and appreciable skills.
The Arts Education Department at Lyndon House Arts Center is dedicated to providing high-quality arts education curriculum and enrichment to youth, adults, and teens in the Athens area. We host adult evening classes, workshops, after-school youth classes, 3 Teen Clubs, and a comprehensive summer arts camp experience. The Arts Center includes 7 professional-level art studios including Painting/Drawing, Printmaking, Fiber, Photography, Ceramics, Sculpture, and Jewelry/Metals. There is a separate children's wing with wonderful facilities, a covered outdoor work court used as an outdoor studio and grassy lawns.
