FAQ
Answers before you ask.
Do I need experience to take a class?
No. Most classes are designed for beginners; those that aren’t are clearly marked. Your instructor wants you there.
Can I rent the space for a private event?
Yes. The gallery, classroom, and whole building are all available. Hourly and full-day rates. Contact us for availability.
I’m an artist who wants to exhibit. What’s the process?
We run juried calls for exhibitions twice a year, plus members get priority slots. Join our mailing list or become a member to get the call first.
Is there scholarship funding available?
Yes. Every class has two to four scholarship seats. Email us directly — no forms, no essays.
How do I get involved as a volunteer?
We need hands at every event — gallery-sitting, First Friday, WinterFest, Youth Art Month. Use the contact form and we’ll match you to a fit.
