JUST FOR KIDS
Mill Art Center & Gallery provides an environment in which the community can express and develop their artistic abilities through instruction, observation and interaction with professional artists. Our unique blend of classroom studios and professional gallery exhibition space encourages students to immerse themselves in art, with inspiration from instructors and the art that surrounds them. Our small class sizes ensure that each student gets plenty of one on one time in every class.
Children and teen classes follow the public school calendar. Arrangements may be made with specific instructors for make-up classes. Gift certificates for art classes and art purchases available.
Due to a generous member donation and grant funding from the Genesee Valley Council of the Arts, the Mill At Center and Gallery is excited to be able to offer sign language interpreting for classes, talks and related programs. In order to successfully schedule an interpreter, we respectfully ask that requests are made two weeks prior to an event.
