What’s on your palette this

Fall & Winter?

For Art’s Sake offers a variety of ART CLASSES! From Drawing to Painting to General Art & Private Lessons, we have options for all ages and skill levels! Classes are held August-May with the exception of Private Lessons which are available year-round.

Oh, and in case we forget to mention it in the descriptions below, all of our classes are first and foremost FUN!

Regular classes will be held August 2025 - May 2026. Class dates and times are listed below.

The classes listed below are our current recurring class options. Receive email updates on newly offered or additional specialty classes by signing up for informational updates at the bottom of this page.

Each class is set up on a 20-week semester with four weeks per session. We encourage interested students to sign up for the whole semester in order to cultivate their creative abilities and prepare them for higher level classes. You can sign up for any of the sessions at any time… meaning if you missed a session or two, you could still sign up for the next session.

We follow the Madison City school system as far as school closings including inclement weather days.

*Pre-determined school closings have been rescheduled and are denoted by an *asterisk next to the class dates listed on the individual class Registration pages. Unexpected school closings will be rescheduled, and we will email registrants with the make-up dates.

*We cannot accommodate drop-ins. Please let us know in advance if your kiddo would like to try a class out before signing up for a session.

*Grown-ups are welcome to drop off and pick up your kiddos or stay for a while until you and your young artist are comfortable with the class. We have found, through our teaching experience, that children tend to learn more quickly, are more creative and develop more independence and confidence in their abilities when the instructors are the only source of teaching during class. If you decide to stay and observe, we respectfully ask that you not assist your kiddo during class.

Please Contact Us if you are unsure of class level placement or have any further questions.

We Are Excited to Create With You!
