Programs
2 programs
Artlink's educational programs include workshops, classes, and bi-weekly figure-drawing sessions. Our educational programs are designed to encourage creative exploration and learning. Taught by artists, workshops and classes provide the opportunity for participants to learn new skills and techniques from practicing artists and fully engage in the visual arts. Workshops often align with our exhibition calendar, providing additional understanding of the artwork exhibited in the gallery. Figure-drawing sessions offer artists of all skill levels bi-weekly life drawing sessions. Artists are welcome to join sessions to draw from live, nude professional models in a comfortable atmosphere.
The Artlink Market program empowers artists and creative small businessesthat may not traditionally be exhibited in a galleryto reach new audiences. Artlink Market events feature a selection of the best in contemporary craft and handmade gifts. In the fiscal year 2023-24, 56 artists and small businesses participated in four market events, including the Artlink Market at Taste of the Arts in August and the Holidays at Artlink: Winter Market hosted in the gallery on Small Business Saturday and the first two Saturdays of December. In December 2021, Artlink introduced the Artlink Curated Shop, a pop-up consignment retail space in the gallery during the Holidays at Artlink. In 2024, the Curated Shop featured 23 artists and creative small businesses.
