Creative Classes at the DAM

Creative Classes offer an opportunity to learn from local professional creatives through traditional and experimental approaches. Each class is taught in a studio art environment meant for exploration of various materials and media, and is uniquely designed by a creative educator for an adult audience with specific connections to the museum's exhibitions and collections.

There are two semester of classes per year. The Winter/Spring semester begins in January, with registration opening in November. The Summer/Fall semester begins in June, with registration opening in May.

Our Educators

Creative Classes educators are working professional artists, writers, dancers, actors, musicians, and others with a robust practice, who share their work at a national level. Our educators have instructional backgrounds within institutions such as colleges, universities, and museums. Each educator has a distinctive practice and is excited to share their expertise with others.

We are currently seeking creative educators to develop and instruct Creative Classes for adult audiences for the Winter/Spring 2026 semester. For Winter/Spring 2026 we are specifically interested in the following practices (among others!) to round out our offerings: European Impressionism, Indigenous Art Practices, Textiles, Fashion and Wearable Arts, Asian Art Practices.
