Creative Workshop Art Classes for Everyone

Grow your creativity and imagine the possibilities at the Creative Workshop!

Our recipe is relatively simple: we mix high quality artist-teachers, inspiration from art on view in the Gallery, a community of wonderful  students and the best studio materials with great work spaces. Our teachers never tell you “what to paint” or draw directly on your child’s artwork, but we teach, inspire, challenge, prompt and encourage—and  love it when you make the artwork you never thought you could make. That happens a lot around here.

In the more than 80 years we’ve offered art classes for all ages, we’ve been dedicated to making art education fun, affordable and available for even the trickiest of schedules.
