Broadway Gallery Class Offerings Coming in November.
It’s been difficult to establish classes since COVID due to concerns for our clients and our teachers. We are hoping baring any road blocks that we will have a few class offerings for those who are interested.
Students should wear clothes they don’t mind getting paint on. Students who miss a class can contact the instructor for make-up lessons.

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 Samantha at sf@0x26.net
Children’s and Adults’ Classes
Oil Painting
Teacher: Lorena Birk
Dates: Fridays, starting April 3rd
Time: 3:30-5:00 pm
Fee: $15, use your own supplies; $25, use Lorena’s supplies
Class Size: 1-7 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.

Come and be a part of this class where the student will learn about how to use rules of perspective drawing to create greater depth in their painting. The student can expect to do some drawing using basic perspective rules and then apply those rules to their painting. Learn to create three dimensional
forms and landscapes using tried and true rules of perspective. The student can also expect to learn how color creates a sense of depth and how the use of dark colors and light colors can add to the perspective of a painting. Scott will share his color ideas in this class.
Please call ahead if you can’t make a lesson and Scott will provide a make up lesson.
Wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting paint on.
