We’re excited to offer a program of workshops running January – May that we think will enrich and inspire.

In a town with a swelling summer population of more than 60,000, the winter and spring give us the freedom to breathe a little deeper, catch up with friends, explore something new or return to a past love.

In the late fall, over 300 members were here to drop off for the small works exhibition, while volunteers accepted and installed the creations. Film buffs gathered to view and discuss riveting art films. The studios were full of students – from teens in the afterschool program, to members of our drop-in painting group, to abstractionists and printers– there was – and is – no shortage of things to do!

Before we know it the days will be getting longer and warmer. Plants will start to come back to life. And creative pursuits can be reinvigorated by the spring air. Wake up your creativity with a class at PAAM!
