The Art Center believes that its mission is best achieved by connecting the experience of viewing art with direct involvement in making art. Core programs include exhibitions and exhibition-related community programming; arts education programs for school children, both in-school and at the Art Center; a Studio Art Program offering high-quality arts instruction, classes, and workshops in a variety of creative media for adults and teens; and the Children’s Fine Art Program, providing classes, summer camps, and other programs for preschool through middle school-aged youth.
