YOUTH AND FAMILY CLASSES
From Friday family nights on the clay wheel to guided photo explorations of Burlington's historic South End, BCA's youth, teen, and family classes are designed to nurture lifelong passions. Students build confidence quickly with personalized instruction from experienced teaching artists.
ADULT CLASSES
Lifelong painters, burgeoning jewelers, and those merely inspired to make friends and try something new are all welcome at BCA. Our arts classes provide not only small-group instruction with a deep focus on individual style, expectations, and ability, but professional development opportunities as well. Many artists who have passed through our studios now run successful businesses, exhibit in galleries, and use our state-of-the-art facilities to continue their craft.
At BCA's award winning youth camps, students work closely with professional teaching artists for a full week of in-depth studio arts experience. Every camp includes high-quality art materials and a final celebration. Come for a half-day or pair a morning and afternoon camp together at BCA Studios to make a full-day experience. Camps at the BCA Center run for the full day.
