Art Center Workshops

The Boca Grande Art Center is pleased to offer an extensive range of art workshops.  Our season has started with a majority of our classes being scheduled January through April. On our calendar you can find classes from drawing, painting to mixed media fine art workshops.  There is something for everyone from the novice to the expert. All workshops will be social distanced with limited students and require masks for our attendees. Some opportunity will be made to host workshops outdoors with instructor's guidance.

Please explore our calendar from the menu options on this page and explore what we have planned this season!

The Art Center

BGAC is hopeful that we will still host art shows this season and begin our workshops in November 2020.  We are working on providing digital viewing of our art and displays.  If the county approves of our Covid safety plan, our art exhibits will be hosted in the Art Center building and we will follow social distancing and visitors will wear masks in the facility. We will certainly update any visitors of our Art Center with any protocol put in place for the safety of all.

OUR HISTORY
The Boca Grande Art Center "BGAC" was founded in 1986 orginally called Boca Grande Art Alliance by a small group of talented artists living in Boca Grande, Florida, who were in search of a venue to show their art works to residents and visitors.  The Fust Library in town hosted several early exhibitions. We have become much more than an alliance of local artists and have become the center for visual arts here on the island.  Today we have grown as a 501-c3 non-profit operation with a very supportive and active membership.

Over the years, our program has added art exhibits, workshops, classes, educational lectures, special events and scholarships. These all celebrate the local culture and promote the visual arts for the public and contribute to the cultural life of our community.
