We are usually able to accept walk-ins for most classes but we greatly appreciate having you register online in advance. In the case where space or supplies are limited, preference will be given to those who have registered. On the flip side, classes may be cancelled due to low advance registrations. You registering in advance helps us better prepare to give you a great art experience AND means that we’ll be able to notify you if there are last minute changes or notices for a class.

Throughout the year we will build upon previous skills but if you miss a month or two, it’s ok to jump in. The cost is $10 per student. Class size is limited to 12 students so advance registration is recommended.
Canvas & Cookies
Looking for a fun activity for you and your spouse, or friends? How about you and your favorite teenager? OR maybe you’re looking for a creative activity to do while getting in some “me time?” Canvas and Cookies is the perfect class! ArtReach staff will teach participants step-by-step to replicate an acrylic artwork in a non-intimidating and laid back atmosphere. While there is guidance through the whole process, there is also great opportunity to use your own creativity as well to make your painting more unique if you wish. Plus, we have cookies. No prior art experience required! These classes are generally $25 per person.
