One-Day Academy
Interested in taking a class or trying something new?
On Saturday, April 13, Continuing Education (CE) will host a series of mini courses for a hands-on preview of the summer schedule! Choose from an array of morning and afternoon options in drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking. Become a student-for-a-day as you meet the faculty, experience expert instruction in PAFA's studio classrooms, and check out the campus in this fun and informative foray into artmaking! New student attendees (who have never before registered for a CE class) will receive a 10% tuition discount on a Summer 2019 regular class or workshop! (Master Classes, Studio/Critique Program, and other special programs not included.)
Courses are three hours, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. or 1 - 4 p.m. Pick your favorite, or mix and match morning and afternoon disciplines!
All one-day courses are tuition-free with a $15 materials fee. All supplies will be provided -- a great opportunity to try out an artmaking medium to see if it's right for you!
All courses are open to adults and high school students aged 15 or older.
