Art School

Welcome. The FIA Art School is a community school where people of all ages and abilities take part in a wide variety of activities. All are welcome, whether beginners or experienced artists.

We’re sure that you will find a class or two to sharpen your skills, introduce you to something new, expand your understanding of the visual arts, or give you an opportunity to try your hand at making art. The Art School is here to serve you and we look forward to seeing you in class!

Hello from Addie Langford

Dear Students,

The past year has brought a new vitality to the Art School. Your innovative suggestions helped launch the Family Block classes, the Just You & Me Kid classes, and the 50/50 Buddy Discounts. Just You & Me Kid classes provide adults and children ages 2.5 to 17 time to relax and experience the creative process together in designated age appropriate classes! The 50/50 Buddy Discount brings you fun with friends and great savings as returning students introduce first time students to FIA Art School classes. See Art School Polices for program details!
Check out the spectacular lineup of Guest Artist Workshops designed to provide brief hands-on introductions to new materials and methods. These short one to three day workshops are designed to fit busy summer travel schedules. Explore colored clay techniques, personal history montage in drawing and watercolor, felted sculptural vessels and jewelry and free up your painting process with a quick paced abstract acrylic painting workshop.

FIA Faculty Workshops will feature a two-week teen painting lab, a three-day figure drawing intensive, and a clay stamp making workshop.
Tell your FIA Art School story to the Art School Story Drive! Send in written accounts and photos of what the FIA Art School and Collection have meant to you over the years, your memories of classroom learning and camaraderie, and what the FIA faculty and students have brought to your life. Submit story packets to Jami at arted@flintarts.org (subject heading: Name/Art School Story Drive) or mail in a hard copy to the Art School office. Please include your name, course of study, the year you started at the FIA, and your instructors’ names. Digital format is appreciated (Word docs preferred).

Thanks for being a part of this rich history. Here’s to a colorful summer!

Addie B. Langford
Assistant Director of the Art School
