education
Reflecting the changes and exciting possibilities of the new Rochester Art Center building and mission we are excited to announce dozens of unique classes, workshops, and seminars. Our hope is to offer rewarding, challenging, and exclusive opportunities for artists of all ages and skill levels. Hands-on artist workshops, specialized classes, and artists’ talks will continue to establish the Rochester Art Center as a leading visual arts education resource in the Upper Midwest.
Each year, the Rochester Art Center offers over 100 adult and children educational programs. These exceptional educational offerings include classes, workshops, film presentations, lectures and gallery tours for all ages.
Programs are designed to encourage an understanding and appreciation of the visual arts. Children and youth programs provide valuable hands-on art experiences under the direction of professional guest artists. Classes, art- after-school sessions, career and portfolio counseling, along with the popular Total Arts Day Camp, are just some of the programs offered for youth at the Center.
Scholarships are available for Art Center classes and workshops, making art accessible for everyone.
