ABOUT

Our classes run from September - May and consist of enriching visual arts programming. Each class varies slightly in curriculum but will follow along the same thematic unit for the year. Each class will have opportunities for exhibiting and/or selling artwork and developing new artistic skills. Each class will learn both historical and modern art content while cultivating engaging conversation. Come build your confidence with us!

Join us this upcoming Fall & Spring 2025-26 Season for enriching in-person weekly art classes at our Millvale studio! Our studio is located at 312 Grant Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15209.

You asked, we listened! We are slowly opening new sections of classes.

Classes often explore themes drawing, painting, printmaking, illustration, sculpture/dioramas, animation, fiber, paper arts, and more. Artists will dive into historical art themes while experimenting with a wide range of mediums and techniques. CCS welcomes guest artists to share new techniques & has 1-3 field trips per year.
