Would you like to take an art class? The Pike Street Gallery Space and Classroom offers seasonal classes that range from six to eight weeks intensive focus on subjects likeBook Arts, Drawing, Painting, Digital Illustration, Stained Glass, Wheel Thrown Pottery, Sculpture, Printmaking and more... to shorter four week classes that are easy to fit into busy schedules.
The Art Alliance also offers an array of weekend and one-day workshops to learn a new skill or refine techniques.
Would you like to have studio time? The Art Alliance also offers open studio times for Figure Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking. These three hour open studios are a great way to connect with fellow artists while having the space to work on projects outside of a dedicated class. There is no direct instruction during open studios.
