Classes & Workshops

Cultivating Curiosity.

At Sun Valley Museum of Art, we champion the importance of lifelong learning opportunities for curious thinkers of all ages.

SVMoA's adult and teen classes offer intimate, exceptional learning experiences in an inspiring setting with local and nationally recognized artists. For kids and families, we provide opportunities for discovery through hands-on, sensory play and artmaking that engage multiple generations, build confidence, and encourage self-expression. All of our classes and workshops are intentionally small, allowing individual instruction and interaction, and accommodating a range of student levels and interests.

Classes & Workshops FAQs

Where do the classes take place?

Locations vary depending on the class; the majority of youth and adult classes take place at the Hailey Classroom (314 Second Avenue South, Hailey). Classes also take place in the Museum in Ketchum, (191 Fifth Street East, Ketchum). Please check your confirmation email to verify your class location.

Why are some classes more expensive than others?

We are fortunate to be able to offer classes and workshops generously sponsored by patrons to subsidize the cost and make it more affordable to you. The skill level of the class also affects the price, introductory classes tend to be less expensive where master level classes require a higher level of instruction. In most cases, reduced tuition is available—please inquire. For more information contact Sophie Sawyers, Director of Learning & Engagement at [email protected].

Scholarships

Sun Valley Museum of Art offers reduced tuition for classes. For questions regarding reduced tuition opportunities, please contact Sophie Sawyers, Director of Learning & Engagement at [email protected].
