Take a Class

When you take a class with one of our expert instructors, you’ll not only increase your understanding of art-related concepts, you’ll also sharpen your critical-thinking skills and grow a deeper appreciation for cultures and histories outside of your own. Classes take place on-site and online and utilize innovative technology that allows you to get up close to art in ways you haven’t before.
