Art Education
It is our mission to strengthen our community’s creative core by providing high-quality instruction and hands-on visual art experiences for students of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. We offer a wide variety of art classes for Youth and Adults, ranging from one-day workshops to comprehensive eight-week courses. Class themes, objectives, and schedules change throughout the year, so there is always something new and exciting to try.
Gilchrist Learning Center Facility
The Gilchrist Learning Center is a 10,993 square-foot facility that includes:
- Four flexible studios
- One clay studio
- One media room
- Three lobby spaces for student exhibitions
- The Drive-By Gallery for special projects
The Drive-By Gallery consists of the glass enclosed hallway in the Learning Center that is highly visible by both pedestrian and vehicular traffic during the day and night.
Adjacent to the Gilchrist Learning Center is Sculpt Park, a green space between the Learning Center and Pierce Street. The space was dedicated as Sculpt Park in 2018 in recognition of Sculpt Siouxland, the non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outdoor sculptures to downtown Sioux City.
