ART CLASSES
At Gallery 53, our mission is to make art accessible to everyone in our community! One of the main ways we do that is by welcoming people into our gallery for classes, paint parties, and private art gallery events /rentals. No matter your age, interest, or ability, we're sure to have a class that’s perfect for you! And if you’re looking to schedule a private party, contact us to discuss your custom event!
