Charleston Heights Arts Center - Las Vegas

Charleston Heights Arts Center is a City of Las Vegas community arts facility at 800 Brush Street, 89107, serving kids ages 3 to 14 across three brackets, 3 to 5, 6 to 9, and 10 to 14. The center covers a wide range of disciplines rather than specializing in just one, which is possible because the building itself includes art studios, dance studios, a theater, and music rooms.

Classes offered include Kids Create, Art Explorers, Intro to Pottery, Pottery and Sculpture, Creative Drama, Acting Basics, Youth Jazz and Tap, Youth Hip Hop, Youth Ballet, Music Exploration for Little Ones, Intro to Guitar, Intro to Piano, and Youth Ukulele. That range means a single family could enroll a preschooler in Music Exploration for Little Ones while an older sibling takes Youth Ballet or Intro to Guitar at the same center.

With three age brackets, 3 to 5, 6 to 9, and 10 to 14, spread across visual arts, drama, dance, and music, the center is set up to keep a family enrolled there for years, moving a child from an early music exploration class as a preschooler into more specific instruction like guitar or piano lessons as they get older, all within the same building and the same posted hours.

The center is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. It is closed Monday and Sunday. As a year-round public facility, classes are not limited to a single semester, and pricing is listed in the moderate range, marked as $$ in this listing, without a specific dollar figure attached.

There is no phone number in this listing, but more information on class schedules and registration is available through the City of Las Vegas parks and facilities website. No scholarship or special needs accommodation details are included here, so families should check directly with the center for that information.

Classes are conducted in English. For a Las Vegas family looking to try several different art forms, from pottery to ballet to piano, without enrolling in separate schools for each one, Charleston Heights Arts Center's single-building, multi-discipline setup is a practical option to explore.
