Open Studios at the Visual Arts Center are for VAC Member & Non-Member Artists with some experience (not for the beginner). Join other artists, one week at a time, or sign up for multiple sessions. Open Studios do not include formal instruction, however, a VAC Coordinator is available to connect you to VAC resources, and may offer suggestions and critiquing, if requested. Registration is required for each individual session, however,  Convenience Cards can be purchased for 6 sessions, if desired.  Some Open Studios are only offered seasonally and some meet all year.
