How to Register

We're thrilled to have you join our vibrant community at ArtSchool. To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend registering in advance to secure your spot. Unfortunately, art classes with insufficient enrollment may be canceled before the first meeting, and in such cases, we'll keep you informed via email.

Our art classes and workshops welcome a diverse audience, including adults and teens aged 15 and up, unless otherwise mentioned. Any required materials fees should be paid directly to the instructor at the initial class meeting, unless otherwise stated in the course description.

You can easily register for our art classes through our website www.artscenterlive.org, in person at The ArtsCenter front desk, or by phone +984-500-4500 using a credit or debit card.

Our box office is ready to assist you:
Monday to Friday: 5pm – 9pm, except during showtimes
Saturday: 10am – 5pm

Please note that checks should be made payable to The ArtsCenter. A $25 service charge is applied to returned checks. 

For certain classes, we provide materials lists. However, we encourage students to confirm the minimum enrollment of their class before purchasing materials. The ArtsCenter cannot be held responsible for materials purchased for a canceled class. If you have any questions about your class enrollment status, please inquire at the front desk. We're here to help!

ArtSchool Stories:
Voices from Our Community

Our ArtSchool family is the heart and soul of our mission. Read through their stories to witness the transformative impact of our
arts programs, and how ArtSchool has nurtured their creativity, promoted personal growth, and created meaningful connections.

Intro to Wheelthrowing/ Ceramics with Jason Abide

“Jason was a great instructor! He provided support and guidance to everyone in our class regardless of their skill level. I appreciated his patience and encouragement. Additionally, I enjoyed having access to studio time to continue to build on the skills I learned in class each week, as well as, to meet other ceramic students at the ArtsCenter.”

Continuing watercolor with Luna Lee Ray

“The Arts Center is awesome and such an important part of my life. It is so much more than nurturing creativity, classes and learning, it's community. Thanks!”

Introduction to Oil Painting with Renzo Ortega

"Best thing about this course was the teacher, Renzo Ortega. Passionate about his subject, tailored instruction to each student's level and style, emphasized classical fundamentals, and did not baby the students. Second thing I liked was my fellow students, who were a diverse mix with a lot of different artistic styles."
