Expand your artistic curiosity and push boundaries in guided exploration.
Overview:
Creative Exploration Lab is designed for young adults ready to dive deep into their own artistic voice. This 6-month, once-a-week 60-minute intensive session is all about guided exploration. Each week, we’ll experiment with new topics, mediums, and approaches, giving you the tools and inspiration to develop your personal practice.

Classes are ongoing; you can continue month-to-month after the 6-month core.
