Turn your art into a daily practice and explore the depth of your creativity with intention.
Overview:
Art as Practice is a 6-month, once-a-week 60-minute session designed for young adults who want to build a sustainable, intentional creative routine. This course focuses on reflection, disciplined exploration, and integrating art into your lifestyle as a consistent, personal practice.

Month-to-month extensions are available after completing the core 6 months.
