Connect with professional creatives, learn a new skill, and expand your own creative practice

Creative Classes at the DAM

Creative Classes offer an opportunity to learn from local professional creatives through traditional and experimental approaches. Each class is taught in a studio art environment meant for exploration of various materials and media, and is uniquely designed by a creative educator for an adult audience with specific connections to the museum's exhibitions and collections.

Classes occur on a rolling basis in two semesters. The Winter/Spring semester begins in January and the Summer/Fall semester begins in June. Winter/Spring 2025 classes begin soon. Browse the course catalog today. Registration opens November 11 for Museum Friends, November 12 for Members, and November 13 for the public. Space is limited and advance registration is required.

Our Educators

Creative Classes educators are working professional artists, writers, dancers, actors, musicians, and others with a robust practice, who share their work at a national level. Our educators have instructional backgrounds within institutions such as colleges, universities, and museums. Each educator has a distinctive practice and is excited to share their expertise with others.

We are currently seeking creative educators to develop and instruct Creative Classes for adult audiences for the Summer/Fall 2025 semester. Read through the request for proposals and submit your information below.
