Each year at It’s Your Show, I’m struck by the beautiful paintings and drawings that our students submit. Many are picking up a paintbrush or pencil for the first time, so it’s truly amazing how much they’re able to accomplish by the end of class. I think it’s a testament to our instructors, but also to the creative spirit and energy that our students, many coming from backgrounds far removed from the art world, are able to bring to class each week.

If you’re looking to start a new hobby, or rediscover those paints and brushes that have been packed away for years, we have summer classes that can help you get started. Check out our workshops below, and some images of student artwork from past shows.
