| Sunshine and Paint Brushes! These are two "musts" in life! Fortunately at The Art Center, we can provide at least one of these neccessities (the paint brushes, by the way...) at all times, be it through classes, plein air or exhibits! We can't promise the sunshine, but we can promise a warm atmosphere where your creative spirit can shine!
We hope you will take advantage of all we have to offer here at The Art Center, not only for our organization's sake, but mostly for yours! We offer so many outlets for creativity! No matter how young or old you are, or how experienced or inexperienced you are, we have opportunities for you to learn, grow and enjoy your own creations!
Get ready for warmer days and a fabulous Spring here with us at The Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association! Read on for more information about our upcoming classes and events!
