Instructional Open Studio is open to students that have completed the Beginning Metalsmithing & Jewelry class. The goal of Metalsmithing and Jewelry Instructional Open Studio is for students to work freely within a flexible schedule while an instructor/monitor is present. This is not a led class. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!

Prairie Arts Center is excited to partner with the Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar for this year's Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 16th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour. Campers will get to see and touch some of the Sheerar's most interesting historical objects and learn the stories of another time. Taking those objects and stories as inspiration, we will spend the rest of our time together making object based artworks that tell our own stories. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.

Calling all aspiring painters! Join us for an Introduction to Acrylic Painting class with Mark Crow. Allow Mark to lead you in painting a fall whimsical scene.
