Painting, Drawing & Printmaking

CCA has an excellent printing facility, including a high quality Charles Brand press (36" x 60"), monotype, silk screening, and expert instruction available from a dedicated and talented staff of seasoned instructors.

In addition, we offer several painting and drawing classes for all levels of ability, in our spacious, upstairs studio. In every class, individual expression is stressed.  We are proud to offer a community of artists that ranges from high school students, preparing for college, to working professionals, to retirees following a new passion.
