Membership

The Hand Workshop Art Center 
Bringing art to the community and the community to art since 1963. Membership support helps to make possible our many educational and community programs. Last year we offered more than 400 studio classes for adults and children — more than any visual arts organization in the city.

We provided school groups with free, multi–visit studio classes using professional artists and studio facilities. And more than 180 artists participated at the Craft & Design Show. Our exhibition program, dedicated to presenting contemporary art that models creative excellence and opens the mind as well as the eyes, has featured over 300 nationally recognized artists.
