The WAS-H classroom is now open for select classes and workshops. The class schedule will indicate whether the courses are on-line or in-person. While the WAS-H office is open during regular WAS-H hours (Tuesday - Saturday 10 am - 3 pm), the on-site Gallery is not open.


The WAS-H Community Outreach Programs include an art gathering for Seniors only, age 65+. It is a friendly and supportive group, all levels and no fee. Registration is required.

Previously, WAS-H enrolled the Art for Seniors by semester. Going forward, each Wednesday will be a separate event to register for, opened 2 weeks at a time. The format will be a 3 hour session, led by an artist facilitator who will provide an image to paint from. You can choose to paint along or bring a different project to work on. Instruction is not provided. Only watermedia is allowed in our classroom.
