Attendance is open to all students with a free block or permission from their teacher. Students interact freely with the artists, observing and asking questions. They use professional tools and supplies for their assignments. Teachers are also exposed to new ideas and techniques, which they may then apply to their own classes. Many of our guest artists are internationally recognized, such as Betty Edwards, author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and Katrin Eismann, photo-imager and consultant for Adobe Photoshop.
Artists sometimes create permanent works of art which remain at the school for everyone to enjoy.
Parents and the community are often invited to attend lectures and workshops outside of class.
