Art centers offer organizations, non profit, alternative, guide, support, sculpture, mixed media, dolls, collage, papermaking, printmaking, fibers, glass, jewelry and other products and services. Decide what medium you want to experiment with, such as media rich art, art and technology, alternative art, photography or enameling. Then look up a few art centers in your area, targeting those that offer what you want, such as painting, drawing and ceramics. If you have children, target art centers that cater to kids and art. Contact a few different centers and get detailed contact information, such as hours, location, classes, availability, background and fees. Then set up appointments with each to get a better idea of how the art center works. Take note if the art center director is timely and helpful, as well as all staff. Make sure the art center is clean and well maintained, projecting a fun, eclectic view of the visual arts world. Take a tour of the building and inquire about classes offered, duration and fees if any. Ask whether the community art center is a local non-profit organization or national, and if the center holds regular exhibitions. Find out how large or small the class sizes are and decide which type of class you'd like to be a part of. If you're interested in teaching art classes at the center, inquire about any open positions. Ask if the cost of materials is extra, or included in the main fee. Before choosing an art center to assist with your exhibition and non profit organizations requirements, keep in mind the center's location, proximity to your home, hours, availability, classes offered, fees, class size, community programs and center background.
