ActonArt opened in June of 2003 with 30 students in a 5-class summer program. During the past twenty-two years we have added a number of classes tailored to various student populations. Among them are Painting and Portfolio level classes which are designed to provide high level instruction for students who wish to pursue fine and commercial art careers, and classes designed for the interests and schedules of adults.
Our Mission is to provide the highest quality drawing and fine art process and technique instruction to children, teens, and adults. We will always endeavor to accomplish this goal by creating a safe, supportive, and non-critical environment for students. We believe that everyone can benefit by learning foundational drawing skills whether they intend to use them in their careers or as a means of personal self-expression or enjoyment.
ACTONART GIFT CARDS can be purchased in any denomination from $20-$2000. Gift Cards can be put towards weekly art classes, workshops, private lessons, and art supplies for sale at ActonArt. (Gift Cards cannot be used for ActonArt Merchandise sold through Printify at this time.)
