For Adults

In 1898, Fleisher’s founder, Samuel S. Fleisher, first extended the invitation for "the world to come and learn art." Fleisher's singular vision of high-quality, low-cost and tuition-free art instruction continues uninterrupted at Fleisher Art Memorial. At Fleisher, artists of all backgrounds share in the commonality of the creative experience while studying with a distinguished faculty of working artists in the visual arts.

For Children & Youth

For more than 120 years, Fleisher has stayed true to its founder’s vision of using the visual arts to enhance the lives of the area’s residents, especially children and youth. Through Fleisher’s various programs, young artists are provided an opportunity to explore individual and cultural identities through art, experience the pride that comes with creation, and develop long-lasting and supportive relationships with adult teaching artists.

  • A special after-school experience for young people ages 13-18, the award-winning Teen Lounge is a free, drop-in after school program focused on the visual arts.

  • On Saturdays & some weekdays during the fall, winter, and spring terms, Fleisher welcomes hundreds of children and youth to its venerable tuition-free Saturday Young Artists program. The program provides art instruction from ages 5 to 18 with additional offerings for parents and guardians.

  • Fleisher’s summer workshops for children and youth offer young artists a chance to explore their creativity five days per week.
