Barnsdall Arts Center

Art Classes Available

Since 1946, Barnsdall Arts Center (BAC) has cultivated a space for adults to discover a passion for creativity through various art forms. The BAC aims to enrich the lives of Los Angeles residents with its affordable yet substantial artmaking classes. In artmaking, the center strives to connect various cultures and build a vibrant, inclusive arts community.

For over 70 years, the BAC has earned a reputation for challenging instruction in small informal class settings, and a community atmosphere among artists. Its program of extremely popular classes in the visual and performing arts is presented by Teaching Artists drawn from the art departments of prestigious colleges, universities, art schools, and other exemplary institutions. Many Teaching Artists are working professionals whose work is exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally.

Drawing, painting, ceramics, jewelry, fiber art, photography, and more are the primary disciplines offered. Workshops in various art forms provide additional enrichment, and uninstructed life-drawing workshops provide independent instruction for advanced students and professional artists.
