Art Programs
We believe there is an artist, teacher and student in everyone and offer multiple ways to explore these roles.
Our programs include hands-on classes, thought-provoking exhibitions, and a Youth Education program that reaches beyond our campus to provide in-classroom arts curriculum and teacher training.
Youth
Education
Our hidden gem. This program trains and sends teaching artists into area schools and provides year-round subsidized programs on campus.
Programming includes parent & child experiences, family and teen workshops, after-school classes, day camps and the very popular Summer Art Experience program.
