Classes - adults, teens and kids

"Fun and encouraging" and "nice teachers and no pressure" are how students describe our art classes.. South Avenue Arts' instructors teach the technical skills and then work individually with students in our small group studio setting to help create their artistic visions. Our “Process Art” projects are age appropriate and fun. By focusing on the experience rather than the end result, we encourage individuality, creativity and imagination! We offer 3 sessions - Fall, Winter and Spring - with some summer classes for adults and summer art camp for kids and teens. Teens ages 16 and older are welcome in our adult classes (parent permission required for figure drawing).
