Visual Arts Programs

The Gunnison Arts Center Visual Arts Program is a work in progress with opportunity to grow! The Visual Arts Program offers youth and adults a variety of classes to choose from year-round. The after-school art classes for youth compliment and build on skills learned in the K-12 art programs, offering opportunities to work in a variety of mediums. Weekend workshops for residents, regional artists and visitors are offered throughout the year. There is always a new class to choose from, as well as continuing favorites. The GAC brings visiting artists from around the country to share their techniques with art students of all levels in the Gunnison Valley.

Summertime brings new programming for youth. Along with clay classes offered to youth, Wild Wednesdays is a program offered from June through August in a Youth Art Institute format for ages 2 – 15. Drop-in rates are available.

The GAC art classroom is available for rent to artists looking for a workshop space, or a space to practice their own art. The classroom is right off of the GAC courtyard, making it a great place to hold a birthday party that includes an artistic flair! Let the staff at the GAC help you plan and execute your child’s next birthday party with take-home party favors handmade by partygoers. Contact Suzanne Channell at (970) 641-4029 for information about classroom rental.
