Programs for adults are divided into two distinct types:

Classes, which are free, provide a solid introduction to drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, etching, lithography, and photography.

• Advance registration and membership is required to attend free adult classes. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Workshops, which require tuition, complement the basic foundation provided by free classes and offer increased studio time, smaller class sizes, advanced study, and both daytime and evening hours. Take a look at the workshops and special workshops & programs available this semester.

• Fleisher workshops fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged, preferably before December 23rd. Fleisher members receive a discount on tuition.

Programs for children are divided into three distinct categories:

Classes, which are free, meet on Saturdays and provide a solid foundation in drawing and painting, sculpture, and printmaking for young artists ages 5 through 18 and their parents.

• Advance registration required through a lottery procedure.

Workshops, which require tuition, offer increased studio time, smaller class sizes, weekday hours, and specialty topics.

• Please register no later than December 23rd.
  Workshops that have not received the minimum number of required enrollments by December 23rd will be cancelled. Registrations for workshops that have received minimum enrollment will continue to be accepted after December 23rd. Fleisher workshops fill quickly, so early registration is recommended.



• Fleisher members receive a discount on tuition.

Teen Lounge, which is free, provides self-directed opportunities for youth ages 13 to 18 to meaningfully interact with outstanding local artists working in a variety of disciplines. Teen Lounge meets after school on Mondays and Wednesdays during the school year.
