With a new theme each month, they’ll discover new ways to unleash their creativity, whether it be through painting, sculpting, mixed media or something else. Projects are based on the interest of the class, and current art trends.

FAQ

What is the environment like?
You are encouraged to either come alone or with friends! Plug into your own music or listen to the chatter. Materials and refreshments are provided.

We tend to keep the lights dimmed but they are still on. We play music on a medium volume, however this can be turned off upon request. The noise level in the room is about medium.

Where is it happening?
The studio on the lower level. The gallery is free to visit.

Walk in through the front doors, turn right and go down the stairs, turn right again and you will see the doors to the studio. Or, take the elevator near our gift shop to level 1 and go through the hallway to the studio.

Do I need to know how to do art ahead of time? Do I need to be an artist?
No! The art activities are beginner friendly. We offer all the necessary materials and instruction to complete a project. We also value abstract art, ugly art, and silly art. It’s a great way to test new materials and imagine new ideas in a welcoming environment.
