Pullen Arts Center is located on the north side of Pullen Park, across the street from N.C. State's Bell Tower and next door to Theatre in the Park and the Gregg Museum. Since 1961, Pullen Arts Center has served as an arts education facility for artists of all skill levels.
Currently, Pullen Arts Center is closed as we undergo a complete renovation and expansion. While we are closed, we hope you will enjoy the studios at Sertoma Arts Center, sign up for classes offered by Pullen Arts instructors at Glen Eden Neighborhood Center and Five Points Center for Active Adults, register for one of our offsite Art4Fun Summer Camps, and check out the roving Pop-up Studios program that will be popping up in community centers around the city.
Registration is now open for Winter/Spring arts classes at Sertoma, Five Points, Glen Eden, and for Pop-up Studios at Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve and Brentwood Neighborhood Center. Online registration for Raleigh Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources Summer Camps begins on March 4, 2019, with registration date staggered by location. In 2019, Pullen Arts Center's Art4Fun Camps will be located at Underwood Elementary, and registration for Art4Fun Camps will begin at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, March 8.
The park bond approved by voters in Fall 2014 includes $6 million for improvements at the Pullen Arts Center and surrounding north side of Pullen Park. The current structure at 105 Pullen Road was built in the 1960’s and houses a variety of programs including: pottery, painting, jewelry, printmaking, glass, arts-based summer camps for children with support spaces for administration, meetings, gallery, and operation. Improvements are needed to accommodate the growth and popularity of arts education at Pullen Arts Center with new technology and equipment. The existing facility will undergo a full renovation and expansion. Pullen Arts Center will close November 9, 2017 to prepare for the construction project.
Art4Fun Camps are unstoppable! While Pullen Arts Center is closed for renovations during Summer 2019, Art4Fun Camp will be held at Underwood Elementary (1614 Glenwood Avenue). Please note that registration for Art4Fun Camp will open on RecLink at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, March 8, 2019. Search on RecLink using the registration barcodes listed below.

In Fall 2018, Raleigh's People in Portraits was offered by Pullen Arts Center, one of 10 organizations from nine states to be selected to receive grants as part of the 2017-2018 Catalyzing Creative Aging Program, led by the National Guild for Community Arts Education in partnership with Lifetime Arts, was funded by Aroha Philanthropies, Music Man Foundation, and the Moca Foundation.
It started with a question: Do you have a story to tell?
For 12 weeks, 50 courageous, creative and curious older adults gathered throughout Raleigh to build technical drawing and painting skills and to explore ways to depict themselves and their stories through portraiture in the People in Portraits Program. The program's intention was to introduce each participant to the power of a shared art-making experience and to give each participant a means for sharing the story they want to tell through visual art. An exhibition in the Borden Building in Fletcher Park showcased the people and stories students explored in this program.
People in Portraits was a 2017-2018 Catalyzing Creative Aging Program, funded by the National Guild for Community Arts Education in partnership with Lifetime Arts, with support from the Office of Raleigh Arts and Pullen Arts Center. We extend our gratitude to the Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources facilities and staff that hosted the program - Thomas G Crowder Woodland Center, Greystone Recreation Center, Marsh Creek Community Center, and Walnut Creek Wetland Park. We'd like to extend a special thanks to the Teaching Artists who worked with each group – Rick Bennett, Peter Marin, Joanna Moody, and Gretchen Phillips, visiting teaching artists Michelle Davis Petelinz and Lamar Whidbee, and Creative Aging program team Megan Bostic and Eliza Kiser.
This program was offered simultaneously at four different locations around Raleigh.

Pullen Arts Center continues to offer a limited selection of four to six week programs for adults at other locations during our renovation.
Jewelry and printmaking programs are being offered at Sertoma Arts Center.
Painting and drawing programs are being offered at Glen Eden Neighborhood Center and Five Points Center for Active Adults.
Adults can also take advantage of one day programs through our Pop-up Studios program.
During our renovation, kids and teens can express their creativity in our Pop-up Studios program. During summer months, we also offer Art4Fun Camp – a day camp with a focus on art for children between the ages of 6 and 11.
Pullen Arts Center's Jewelry Program has been relocated to Sertoma Arts Center during our renovation. Please call Sertoma Arts Center at 919-996-2329 for information on classes.

Pullen Arts Center's Pottery Program is not operating at another location during the renovation. We encourage potters to check out one of the great studios in the area – like Sertoma Arts Center, N.C. State's Crafts Center, and Cary Arts Center - while we are closed.
Pottery Studio Card Holders and students currently enrolled in pottery classes have access to tools and equipment in the Pottery Studio during open studio time. The Studio is open for use by Studio Card Holders and current pottery students any time during our normal hours of operation when classes are not in the studio. Our Google Studio calendar identifies when classes are using the Studio.
As a reminder, if there are two classes taking place simultaneously in the Studio, the entire Studio is closed.
