About Our Teachers
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 so choose to support this view by showing and working at the Broadway Gallery. We sincerely appreciate the support the community has given the gallery over the years.
Scholarships for Youth
Scholarships are available for students 7 – 18 years of age who are interested in art classes and otherwise unable to afford the classes. Forms are available at the Gallery, or by email to Susan at supolas@gmail.com

A canvas up to 18×24 will be supplied for all students.
If you have always wanted to paint but didn’t have the time, energy, or were concerned about the investment for the materials this is the class for you. You have the choice between buying your own paints and using Susy’s paints. You will want to invest in brushes as you get more interested. Water mixable oil paints are used in this class. They are very low odor, clean up with soap and water and work just like oil paint.
Come prepared to have fun and learn new techniques with water mixable oil pain. Susy specializes in landscapes and waterscapes but students paint what they desire with guidance. Susy guides each student where and when they need it in a very positive and fun way. Her sense of humor and love of painting keep everyone laughing and learning. Students may bring regular oil paints but are asked to clean their brushes at home.
Oil Painting
Teacher:Lorena Birk
Date: Fridays Time:3:30-5:30 pm
Fee: $15 with your own supplies; $25 with Lorena’s supplies
Ages: 7 through senior
This oil painting class will focus on animals, composition, anatomy, and color. Specific focus will be showing how to create an engaging composition and on animal anatomy of the chosen subject. If the student has some experience with oil paints, the focus will be on teaching them more about painting style and also giving suggestions on new techniques they might try to improve their own style. Novice students will start with basics (this includes a drawing lesson combined with a painting class) and work up through several sessions until they feel more comfortable with the medium. The goal is to explore the paints and have the artist develop their own style while learning about the animals they are painting.
