Drop-In classes are about trying something new. Our recipe is relatively simple: we mix high quality artist-teachers, inspiration from art on view in the galleries, a community of wonderful students and the basic materials you need to get started. Our teachers never tell you what to paint or draw. They 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!
