Holland Area Arts Council

At the Holland Area Arts Council, we offer a wide variety of art classes for youth, teens, and adults including drawing, painting, mixed media, ceramics, and more. Whether you're trying something new or building on existing skills, there's a class for every age and experience level. Making art can be incredibly therapeutic, helping to relieve stress, improve focus, and build skills while creating work that reflects your personality. All necessary supplies are included in the class price unless otherwise noted in the description, so you can show up ready to create! As an Arts Council, we believe that art is for everyone, and we love to create a welcoming, supportive space where you can try new ideas and bring your creativity to life. Sometimes that means getting a little messy and we’re all for it! Bring an apron or wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and if you have long hair, it’s a good idea to bring a hair tie to pull your hair back. If you have questions about any of our classes, please email helpdesk@hollandarts.org. We’re excited to see you and hope you'll find inspiration, connection, and joy as part of our creative community. Class no shows are non-refundable.
