About this organization
Mission
To be a contemporary forum for the visual arts through education, exploration, collaboration and exhibition, and to engage minds, expand perspectives and inspire growth in students of all ages, teachers, artists and the community.
About
Education. The Ann Arbor Art Center art education programs provide an array of experiential learning opportunities for individuals of all ages and skill levels. Annually, the Art Center programs over 200 classes, one-day workshops, youth art camps, and free drop-in workshops. Class mediums range from traditional (painting, drawing, and screen-printing) to contemporary (cold wax painting, exploring alcohol inks, and stop-motion animation) and ceramics (wheel throwing and hand building) to jewelry metalsmithing (simple ring making to casting metals). All classes are taught by experienced instructors with MFA, BFA, or art education degrees. In addition to holding classes in our downtown Ann Arbor facility, we partner with other community groups to hold classes in their facilities as well (Ann Arbor District Library, Literati, Blom Meadworks, Hathaways Hideaway, Matthaei Botanical Gardens). In 2019, over 4,100 individuals of all ages and skill levels participated in the Art Center educational programs. In 2019 we also expanded our class offering into the new building obtained next door.
