Classes

Due to the popular nature of our holiday classes - they are NON-REFUNDABLE.

If you’re unable to make it for any reason, you are welcome to gift your spot to someone else! Other classes may offer refunds or credits if more than 7 notice is given prior to start of class.

35% of your class fee is a donation to support our nonprofit arts center.

You are welcome to bring your favorite beverage to sip during our classes and workshops.

At The SHAC, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of classes designed to inspire creativity and welcome everyone into the world of art.

  • Fine Art Classes – Dive deeper into traditional art forms with courses like Beginning Watercolor and Painting with Rusty.

  • Creative Workshops – Explore hands-on, creative experiences ranging from doormat making and front porch pots to paint-your-pet nights, weaving, fused glass, cookie decorating, and so much more.

  • Youth Classes & Workshops – A new name for our youth section, this is where you’ll find classes and workshops created especially for kids and teens.

  • Special Needs Art Classes – Our Peacock Art Club (PAC) is designed to be inclusive and adaptive for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These classes ensure that every artist has a space to thrive

Our organization is the recipient of funds from the Sara M. Dickens Endowment for the Fine Arts, which allows us to provide tuition assistance to those seeking to participate in our classes and programming. The Suzanne Haskew Arts Center (The SHAC) has a limited financial aid budget, and a finite number of scholarships are available for students enrolled in courses at the (SHAC).  Scholarships are awarded based on financial need. All financial information submitted to the Scholarship Committee in the application process will be kept strictly confidential and will be shredded and disposed of after determining eligibility. Financial aid decisions are based on the availability of funds; therefore, scholarship awards are not guaranteed. In addition to their financial need, prospective scholarship recipients must also demonstrate the motivation and ability to attend classes and participate on a consistent basis. Decisions of the VFAA Scholarship Committee are final. Awards must be used for the course specified and within the designated time frame.
