Summer term dates: June 17 – August 16
Monday, May 6: Registration for summer classes opens at 8 am
Friday, May 24: Adult tuition assistance deadline
Classes and Workshops provide instruction and ways to experiment in numerous mediums. During the summer, some workshops meet weekly and others meet on consecutive days.
Immersives are organized during select times of the year. These advanced offerings are designed to provide more time in the studio than a typical class, creating space for artists to explore techniques and new ideas more deeply.
JumpstARTs are inexpensive, single session workshops providing an introduction to our rich offerings. All materials are included in the tuition price.
Open Studios provide an opportunity for intermediate and advanced students to use the Fleisher facilities to help expand a body of artwork without the cost of renting their own studio.
To learn more about different types of offerings, please visit our Adult Education page.
