With grant support from UAA Center for Human Development, Hope Studios is hosting twice-monthly Art Nights now through April 2026. Each Art Night features a different guest art instructor and medium. Art Nights are open to all abilities and skill levels and are perfect for a friends’ night out, date night, or taking time for yourself. Space is limited for each class to keep the experience personal and welcoming, so we encourage early registration. Sign up for the upcoming class(es) below.
