About US
Neighborhood Art school
Welcome to the Neighborhood Art School. Where artists, neighbors, and art educators come together to foster creativity, learning, and connection. Through a diverse range of events, classes, and workshops, we provide a supportive space that encourages the development of artistic and teaching practices.
​
Our inclusive community is built upon a few core beliefs: Everyone has something to learn and teach at every age, our learning environment is wherever we are, and that we are on a lifelong learning journey together. Whether you are a seasoned artist, a beginner exploring your creative side, or an art enthusiast, you will find a welcoming and inspiring environment to nurture your artistic journey.
​
At our events, you can engage with neighbors, experience amazing work, share ideas, and find accountability and inspiration for both your creative practice and your teaching practice. Our intergenerational approach ensures a rich and diverse experience where different perspectives and life experiences unite to create something transformational for us all.
​
We bring together artists, neighbors, and educators to host in-person and online events and classes so that we can develop our creativity together.
