Digital Arts Suite
Five programs combine technology and the arts to attract students to more career opportunities: web design, print design and layout, photo composition, music technology and movie technology.  Club members develop creativity and critical thinking skills as they learn to use modern software for graphic design, digital photography, electronic-music making and digital-movie making.

Daily Art Activities
Members complete various projects and activities while spending time at the Club.  Art directors have the students designing their own cartoon characters and story lines along with character traits of their cartoons.  Other crafts include creating key chains, necklaces, and string art. 

The Boys & Girls Clubs encourages creativity and welcomes new ideas from Club members./div>
