Artists and Designers. Their creations are a delight for all to experience. With a stroke of a brush, a turn of the potter’s wheel, the click of the shutter, the feel of polished stone, the glint of silver jewelry, or computer animated characters and graphics images, our artists and designers have it all. South Mountain Center for Visual Arts gives students the opportunity to express creative thoughts and feelings, leaving an indelible mark on all who cast a glance. Participants enrolled in this unique program are provided with all the tools and supplies necessary to develop their own personal style. Low enrollment studio classes provide students with more quality instruction time than any other program of its kind in the District. An emphasis is placed on unique and high quality work. Instruction is provided by professionals whose area of expertise is the area in which they teach. Many of the instructors are also working artists whose works appear in state and national exhibits as well as local and national publications. Showcasing works of art throughout Phoenix is a major ingredient of the Visual Arts program. The Phoenix Art Museum, the Civic Plaza, the State Capitol, and community shows and exhibits highlight a few of the many locations where student art work is featured. We stress excellence, quality of work, and pride in one’s self in all of our programs. Visual Arts students and Faculty at South Mountain Center for Visual Arts are unique in their dedication to art.
