Get creative with an art class!  Or join us for a lecture or movie-night discussion group.  
​We offer classes in a variety of media and for students of all ages and skill levels.   Our Plein Air group meets around town for on-location painting.  We also offer classes for artists to build their art business. 

Art Classes for Adults, Children and Teens

No matter what your skill level, we can help you explore your creativity and increase your skill level.  Our classes range from experimental "paint nite" classes for true beginners to advanced techniques in specific media.  You can learn the basic techniques, further your technical skills or expand your range of media.  We also offer classes for artists who are developing their art as a business.

Open Studio

Do you need a place to make art, but are not ready to commit to a full-time studio?  Our flex space is available for drop in sessions.  Bring your own supplies, work on your creative projects and then hang out with us for lunch if you like.  Not only will you benefit from our creative atmosphere, but the resident artists are always happy to discuss your work and offer help if asked.  For details about open studio times and to register call 425-6671 or visit us to get started.

Where's the calendar?!  We moved it to its own page.

Missed Class Sessions:

• If a student misses part of a class, there is no guarantee of made up sessions, and no portion of tuition is reimbursed or credited.
• Attempts will be made to allow for make-up sessions (i.e., in pottery) when possible, but it is not guaranteed.

We want to work with students as much as possible.  We want you in our studios, creating!  At the same time, instructors are contracted and paid, supplies are ordered, and schedules are made based on class registrations.  We appreciate your follow through, and your prompt communication when hiccups happen.

Why we love art classes at VBAC...

"I enjoy every moment of these classes.  The fellowship and the instructions received are valuable.  My confidence is always built up."
Marjorie Craig

"Tons of helpful hints for technique and 'how to do' example demonstrations.  Very worthwhile course."
​Michelle Brackett
