Adult Education FAQ

These courses reflect a concentrated effort to provide educational opportunities for people that have never picked up a brush or a camera. Instead of offering art courses for primarily practicing artists, the Academy is committed to helping everyone nurture the urge to create, because we believe everyone has the potential to be an artist. These workshops offer an opportunity to get hands-on experience studying with some of the best artists and educators working today!

THINGS TO KNOW

Registration can be done online, or in person at the Academy’s front desk. We encourage students to register early, as many of our courses are in high demand and fill up fast.

COURSE MATERIALS

The Academy does its best to provide materials for our classes, but some courses will require students to purchase certain supplies, such as drawing paper, paint, etc. You are encouraged to email the course instructor if you would like to inquire about the supply list before registering for the course.
