Plein Air League
Do you like painting en plein air (in the outdoors)? Our free Plein Air League (PALs) meets once a month at different locations all around town. Each session includes time for painting and a friendly group critique. Subscribe in the form on the footer of this page. A monthly email will be sent with a reminder about the newest location and time. For more information and the schedule, visit the Plein Air League page.
Figure Drawing Group
The Art Center hosts the Virginia Beach Drawing Group. This group meets three times a month with a model. There is no instruction, but plenty of artistic fellowship! Visit the Drawing Group Page for the details.
Military Class Collaboration with Armed Services Arts Partnership
The Art Center hosts the classes brought to you in collaboration with Armed Services Arts Partnership. ASAP’s mission is to spark creativity and connection for our military servicemembers (both active and retired), and their families through the restorative power of artistic expression. Each month we will be exploring new artistic mediums. Visit the Military Class Page for more details.
