Spring 2013

Beginning, Intermediate & Advanced Art Classes for Adults & Children

Spring with fresh clean colors and the joy of clear skies is an energizing time to join a class. We offer very creative classes this quarter. Download the brochure.

Our artists work and live in your community. Many are teachers at local schools. Some of our artists have been with us since we opened in 1982. Some are nationally recognized, many have won awards at juried shows, some have written and/or illustrated books. All work passionately to express their artistic visions. All feel that it is very important to have an artistic presence in the community and choose to support this view by showing and working at The Broadway Gallery.
