Classes are held every Saturday. The artist teachers also provide important mentorship to the children during the creative classes and they all enjoy juice and biscuits provided by a support donor to the Foundation at the completion of the class.

In February 2024, the first of the ecosystem murals of the Aberdares National Park and Reserve was launched to the public.

Since 2013, the MASK Awards has recognised arts talent among schoolchildren and youth, particularly in remote areas with limited access to creative tools.
