What can you capture in clay in 10 minutes?

Work from the n**e model through a series of short poses, learning to see movement, simplify the figure into volumes and planes, and make bold sculptural decisions before the clock runs out.

Less fussing. More seeing. More making.

Winter is coming and with it, a fresh chance to try something new, make something with your hands, or finally carve out time for the art you’ve been meaning to pursue.

Whether you want to throw clay, draw, paint, print, experiment with a new medium, or deepen a skill you already love, Kirkland Arts Center’s Winter Quarter is your invitation to make space for creativity.

-Learn something new.
-Build your skills.
-Meet other people who like making things.
-And give yourself three hours a week to do something just for you.

Start thinking about what you want to make next.

Your winter project is waiting.

Umbrella Fringe Festival brought art, art, and MORE art to Kirkland!

Returning for the second year, the annual “Art Is Everywhere” celebration hosted by the Kirkland Arts Center took place from September 25 to 27. During its three-day run, seven venues held 27 events, and hundreds of umbrellas added color to Kirkland.

Art lovers got to experience the bold and unexpected in many forms throughout Fringe. The lineup included stand-up comedy, film, dance, music, spoken word, graphic art, and much more. If you missed out, Fringe will be back next year!
