Certificates
We offer certificates for people who want to formally represent the development of their art practice in a structured non-degree program. Prospective certificate program students may wish to have acknowledgment of their studies, or enjoy creating art while working towards a goal; students may be looking to build a portfolio for professional purposes, or before pursuing an art degree. Students can choose to learn a specific technique in depth with successive classes, work on broadening their skills by exploring many techniques, or a combination of both.
