Fall Classes Are Here and Registration Is Open!

CLASS SPOTLIGHT:
PORTRAIT DRAWING AND PAINTING with Teaching Artist Beth Bohrer
This class will focus on the fundamental features of the face. We'll draw and paint from a live model, learning to capture a likeness or an abstraction — your choice. Together we'll study the proportions and personality of the model, with instruction on the shapes and features of the eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. Bring your own materials to work with: watercolor, pastels, acrylic, or charcoal.

Two sessions available:
▪️ Thu, Sept 17–Oct 8, 1 - 4 PM
▪️ Thu, Oct 22–Nov 12, 1 - 4 PM

Looking for something else? Explore pottery, printmaking, drawing, mosaics, cyanotype, and more! We offer classes for adults, teens, kids, and seniors.

We believe art should be accessible to all. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.

That’s a wrap on summer programs! ☀️

What a fun summer it’s been at Garrison Art Center! From painting and pottery to printmaking, drawing, and everything in between, we loved seeing our studios filled with creativity, curiosity, and lots of happy, messy hands.

A huge thank you to all of our students, families, teaching artists, teaching assistants, and staff who made this summer so special.

Thank you to .fyf for sponsoring our summer programs.

Featured throughout the exhibition are works created using a range of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques. A reductive woodcut, as seen in the print 'The Angel Oak' by Gary Blake, is a multi-color printmaking technique where an artist uses a single wood block to print every color layer. Between each color run, the artist carves more wood away from the block. Because the block is progressively "reduced", you cannot reprint previous layers.
