Phoenix Center for the Arts provides arts and culture opportunities for all through education, programming, and advocacy.
Phoenix Center for the Arts has a variety of art classes for adults and youth, taught by professional Teaching Artists: visual arts, performing arts, online and outdoor classes, as well as one or two day workshops, and classes en español. Students can choose from two Phoenix locations to take classes, Phoenix Center for the Arts in Downtown Phoenix and Thunderbird Arts Center in North Phoenix.
In addition to being known as a place to come create art, Phoenix Center for the Arts is also a place to come appreciate art. Throughout the year, work by emerging and established local artists are presented in a rotating schedule of gallery shows in both the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Buildings.
These galleries are open to the public during the First Friday and Third Friday art events in Phoenix.
