Artplace Gallery and Framing - Original Fine Art Custom Portraits Giclees in Denison Texas North of Dallas

Artplace offers a wide variety of artistic instruction for both youth and adults. We cater to beginners as well as advanced artists in our studio classroom and Mixed Media Creative Learning Center. Students are the guests of our resident artists and instructors as they venture through the gallery into the studio space beyond.

Youth instruction currently runs in 6 week blocks through the spring, fall, & winter and 4 week blocks in the summer. Classes meet on Saturdays or Tuesday evenings. Adult studio groups follow the same 6 and 4 week schedules as the youth classes. Students may take sessions continuously or chose specific sessions with topics most appealing to them.

Other services include private lessons by the hour for youth and adults, adult mentoring sessions, mixed media workshops, and workshops by guest instructors. Current schedules are below and detailed class descriptions and examples of artwork can be found on our "Student Page".
