About the Classes Program

Each year, The Studios offers over 70 classes and workshops in a range of media for artists from beginners to professionals. We have two classrooms: one for physical media like painting and sculpture, and a Design Lab for classes in digital media and writing. In addition, the Helmerich Theater serves as the perfect space for performing arts and movement classes.

Please note: The Studios does not typically cover instructor housing for classes, but if it would be required for your class to take place, you may ask for special consideration in your proposal.
