Turn up the Creative Heat this Summer

The Richmond Art Center is kicking off a new season of art classes in ceramics, metals, enameling, screen-printing, encaustics, printmaking, collage, drawing, painting, fiber arts, weaving, jewelry and much more for adults, teens and kids. The Art Center prides itself on its small class sizes, nurturing community environment and selection of beginning to advanced classes. Flexibility is offered in the form of multi-week classes to one-day workshops  offered during the day, in the evening and on weekends.

New this Summer: Make Art Outdoors!
The new Plen Air (out of doors, in natural light) painting class will bring you to beautiful Bay Area locations. Enjoy the summer sun while you learn about depth of space through line, shape, light and color.

Don’t let ‘I’m boreds’ takeover your summer
Art-making is a wonderful way for kids and teens to explore and express their inner artist. There’s nothing quite as rewarding as seeing your child proudly holding the piece of artwork (s)he created! The Richmond Art Center has a wide range of affordably priced summer classes for kids and teens, such as, 4-week summer camps, classes that meet once-a-week for 4-8 weeks and 1-day workshops.
