Take an Adult Art Class!

There are endless benefits, including:

Learn or Be a Lifelong Learner! Anyone can learn to draw or paint with some basic instruction. It is not a talent you are born with. If you wish to be a master, you only need practice.

Explore Your Skills! You may surprise yourself or uncover hidden talents you did not know you had!

Socialize or Connect with the Community! In-person classes are an excellent opportunity to get to know other visual arts community members who may share similar interests!

Experiment or Improve Your Skills! When you learn under the guidance of a professional instructor, they will encourage you to experiment or take more significant creative risks.

Create! You may have a finished piece or artwork that you take with you to show or give to your family or friends.

Find Inspiration! Be surrounded by other creative types, or see what they create.

‘Enable adults at any 2D Visual Art skill level to learn or create within a community setting!"

Rebecca Miller
Previously enrolled in drawing and watercolor classes.


I had put down my art interest for more than two years. I needed something to 'kick-start' it again. I took two classes from Art Verve Academy.

They were 'Drawing the Human Head' with Christy Olsen and 'Exploring Watercolor Textures' with Stacy Egan.

Both of these classes & their instructors were very, very good & just what I needed to 'kick-start' my art activities again.

I would strongly recommend these classes & the Art Verve Academy!!!"

New to the Art Verve?

Verve is synonymous with vigor, the energy or enthusiasm behind expressing an idea, which is vital in the creative process! Artists need this type of stuff to keep on creating over time.
