Year awarded: 2024, Round 3

Spokane Art School’s “Art Experience” classes provide one-time art workshops in popular subjects such as acrylic painting, ceramics, and jewelry making, designed to be accessible and beginner-friendly. Classes include supplies, instruction, and a take-home project, fostering creative curiosity in individuals and groups while promoting broader participation in the arts.

SAGA funding will support the purchase of professional art supplies, marketing, and facility enhancements, allowing the school to expand offerings and improve class quality. This initiative seeks to reach new audiences, including groups and businesses, and to bolster earned income, ensuring the school’s sustainability while making art more inclusive.
