Explore your creativity through classes, workshops, and collaborative art experiences led by Mexican artist and educator Verónica Olivares-Weber.

From ceramics, painting, and sculpture to Mexican folk art and Spanish Through Art, our programs combine artistic instruction with opportunities for discovery, expression, and connection.

We work with schools, libraries, museums, universities, businesses, community organizations, and private groups to develop experiences suited to their interests.
