The Fine Arts Center is proud of the many art classes it has offered children and adults alike over the years. We have a wide variety of art education offerings this fall! Classes for children (Creative Club) are free of charge - simply use the sign--up form to enroll your child/ren each month. Workshops for Adults typically have a class fee associated with them, led by renowned artists in our region.
