See it, try it!

Welcome to on-demand access to activities, workshops, and art kits.

In addition to regular session classes, the Arts Center offers these creative experiences for flexible scheduling and individual and small group exploration.

Art Kits

Art Kits can be picked up at the Arts Center and taken home. Prices vary.

Create on your own terms! Be creative on your own, with family, or in your learning pod. Choose self-paced written or pre-recorded video instruction, or opt for a virtual instructor.

Workshops on Demand

$150 for two-hour workshop. Workshops can be scheduled any day of the week, from 9am to 7pm. All workshops are limited to 8 individuals.

Workshops take place in Arts Center studios. Health and safety restrictions apply and guidelines must be followed to participate. Click here for current information.

Work in the studios with professional teaching artists to create projects in different mediums. Whether you are setting this up for a special group experience or learning pod, these workshops are a wonderful, art-making experience for youth to feel successful and creative.

Many workshops can earn a badge for Scout troops; just look for workshops that include BADGE READY! in the listing.
