Most of our programs are designed for beginners; however, there is always something new and exciting to try in every class! We also provide opportunities for community members to connect with local artists and deepen their appreciation of art. We welcome comments as we continue to adapt our programming to meet community needs.

If you or your child require an aide or additional support to attend a program, please contact a visual arts programmer to discuss how we can best support your participation and ensure a positive experience for all.
