A Community for Creative Growth
the Art School of Columbia County is a non-profit 501(C)(3), non-academic art center, where people of all ages - adults, retirees, parents, children, and teens - can discover and grow their creativity. Art education is a proven way to strengthen minds, build confidence, and bring people together. It inspires self-expression in both children and adults, keeps older minds sharp and engaged, and offers everyone a safe place to explore, learn, create, and connect. The school welcomes everyone, regardless of background or financial means, and offers scholarships to ensure that cost in never a barrier to participation.
