Workshops & Exhibitions – join us for some extra special fun!

SUPPORT YOUTH EXHIBITIONS: We believe the experience of publicly showcasing artwork is an invaluable part of artist development and confidence building in young people. Students gain professional arts development skills through writing an artist statement, assisting in the set up of the show, and publicly presenting their work. Join us in recognizing the efforts and growth of these talented young artists.
