Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art (The Square) will once again host a variety of art classes for all ages and abilities beginning early April, with most classes running April – May. The Square offers art classes on a quarterly basis that are taught by local and visiting professional artists. Mediums taught include ceramics/pottery for adults and youth, Beginning Drawing, Beginning Painting, Ceramics Date Night, and Guest Artist workshops featuring Maggy Rozycki Hiltner and Janina Myronova.
They are also accepting registrations for the Summer Kids Art Camps in June, July, and August. Some partial scholarships may be available for summer camps.
The Square’s adult classes are offered at a variety of skill levels, while youth programming is built for pre-K through 12th Grade. The Square’s Education Department offers a series of free programs including a free weekly Senior Art Class for artists of any ability over 60 years of age; a Veteran Arts program every other Wednesday; a free weekly art class for teens called Curative Art Collective; and art classes for adults with disabilities in partnership with Easterseals-Goodwill.
The Veteran Arts program is open to Veterans in Great Falls and surrounding areas. Instructors specializing in their trained media lead classes each month, allowing participants to explore many different art mediums throughout. The Veteran Arts program is free, and all participants are required to register for each class by calling the museum or registering online.
The public is invited to register for paid or free classes each quarter. Partial scholarships may be available through The Square’s Roberta Cooney Memorial Fund.
