Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email help@popartacademy.org or use the contact form to ask about the next children's workshop and whether adults can join. To volunteer, use the application form on the volunteer page..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Each session runs about 2 hours, and the courses are built for new artists and for people coming back to art after a break. Students learn art history and the basics, and they work with acrylic, watercolor and oil on canvas. The course is paid in advance to reserve a spot, at $650 for the 5-week course or $1,300 for the 10-week course.
Tips for your first visit
- Ask about adult spots and session times when you email, since the site does not list them.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The children's workshops are described as suited to beginners and can be reserved online, but the site does not say whether adults can join, so the way in for adults is unclear..
