Programs
Art Workshops & Creative Education
Painting, drawing, ceramics, crafts, photography, music, creative writing and theatre for children, youth, adults and seniors.
Overview
Our workshops are the heart of everything we do. They are small, warm and practical: a table, good materials, a patient mentor and a group of people who want to try something new. Nobody needs prior experience, and nobody is graded.
Workshops run in cycles across the year and are led by practising artists and educators from Rijeka and the region. Each cycle ends with a small showing of the participants' work, so that what is made in the room can be shared with families and neighbours.
Goals
- Make practical artistic education available to people of every age and income.
