Art Classes

The Center offers on-going Art Classes for K-12 students and special classes for Teens & Adults. The students learn the seven Elements and seven Principles of Design. They also learn to communicate through the arts and they make a connection within and across the arts to other disciplines, life, cultures, and work. We have classes specifically geared to home-schoolers as well as an after-school program. Please visit our website for upcoming special events and to register for art classes.

The Fred Oldfield Gallery

Numerous paintings by renowned Western Artist Fred Oldfield are on display at all times. The collection highlights some of his earliest work from the 1940’s through 2017. You can also view a recreation of Fred’s art studio. There is also a 20 foot mural by Fred Oldfield depicting the daily life of the Yakama (yes Yakama) people as seen by Fred in his youth on the Yakama Indian Reservation. The mural was painted in 2005.

My children have been enrolled in the Fred Oldfield Art Center for the last 3 years. The teachers and staff are very friendly, caring, and provide an environment where my children feel inspired to create and learn various skills. It’s a great place for exploring the arts.
