Winter Art Classes

February 18, 2026

Donations from Birchtree’s 2024 Benefit for Learning Auction allowed Birchtree’s students with autism to enjoy weekly art classes this winter with instructors from Seacoast ArtSpot.

Students had a wonderful time learning about color and form, trying new techniques, and expressing themselves through art. Thank you to the Seacoast ArtSpot and all our supporters for making this learning possible!
