Public registration is now open for summer classes at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, running Monday, June 8, through Thursday, Aug. 16. Classes can fill up fast, but don’t stress too much if you see a waitlist. The calendar is decked out with 100+ beginner-friendly, intermediate, and advanced offerings.

Classes and studio workshops are available for adults and young artists ages 3 and up. Subjects include — but are certainly not limited to — clay art, woodworking, writing, painting, printmaking, and digital art.

Family Studio Days will take place on Saturdays, priced at $10 per person. Adult classes are offered in both one-day and multi-week formats and range in price.

Financial aid is available for all classes following an online application and approval process. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and discount rates are determined by a sliding scale dependent on household income and number of dependents.

Note: In order for the discount to apply, the application must be approved prior to class registration.
