Burlington City Arts Studios

BCA Education offers high quality arts opportunities for kids through adults in the visual arts, photography, printmaking, clay and craft and writing. Our classes, workshops and drop-in programs take place in professional, state-of-the-art studio classrooms. We encourage kids, teens, adults and families to drop-in and explore our open studios to draw, paint, make ink and photographic prints, experiment with clay and/or share literary pursuits.

If you’re looking for an in-depth independent studio experience in photography, printmaking, or clay, try out an individual studio membership at the Community Darkroom, Print Studio or Clay Studio. Studio memberships offer open studio time, work and storage space, and much more. Experienced studio facilitators will be on hand to assist and guide you!
