We offer a wide variety of over 150 scheduled Classes and Workshops as well as private group or individual workshops, private parties, girls/guys night out, cultural enrichment courses, birthday or special occasion parties, outsourced workshops (we'll come to you), art consultations, college entrance portfolio advice, tutoring in all subjects (art and academics), home school workshops, an annual mural competition, varied special events, art gallery space, seasonal and holiday offerings, corporate business bonding events, family fun time occasions. We are available days, nights and weekends.  

 

We cater not only to our in-house and local artists and their followings, but to the lifelong learners and insatiably curious of all ages across all of the greater New Bedford area and beyond.

We aim for excellence by drawing from the extraordinary abundance of local talent and intellect. We strive to be THE place for learning, interacting, entertainment, new experiences and adventure. We offer space to create, a network of fellow makers and a vision to present your art to the masses. We are both affordable and priceless.
