Each month, RiverArts’ ArtsAlive Education Center hosts drop-in art & crafting on Wednesdays from 2-4 pm (bring your own project or jump in on a simple one we’ve created for the day!), First Friday events (often pop-up galleries and/or hands-on art activities), and a wide variety of classes. From fine arts series taught by professionals to unique one-day projects, we offer something for everyone. Or take a class with RiverArts’ Clay Studio to learn pottery wheel, hand-building, and glazing techniques.
We also offer weekly opportunities for growth in your arts journey.
