The Community Education program offers courses for students age 13 and older in a broad range of disciplines.

Classes generally meet once a week for about 8-10 weeks, during daytime /after-school / evening / weekend hours, and are led by working artists and experienced instructors.
We offer a separate slate of classes for the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms; a given course may be available in one, two, or all three terms

As well as sketchbook workshops in Taos, New Mexico!
