AWE offers art classes through our partner communities, which include a wide range of senior living communities and senior centers. We also have several ‘Open Studio’ classes that are open to all. AWE provides 2,000 art classes for older adults across the Bay Area each year.
Taught by a team of dedicated professional artists, classes meet weekly in person and online. Participants create art, learn about technique, art history, and engage in discussion. Classes are offered in a variety of languages, including English, Russian, Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The program is sequential and tailored to each artist’s skill level and areas of interest.
AWE classes bring people with shared interests together, building real and meaningful community, and giving participants opportunities to express themselves through creativity.

Open Studio Online Interactive Classes
Our experienced professional artists provide instruction and build community through online interactive art classes. Classes meet weekly for 2-hour sessions. Art students from beginner to advanced join us to take their creative abilities to the next level with the guidance of an instructor and support from classmates. Students need a computer, tablet, or smart phone for visual and audio access to the interactive classroom platform. You can start with just paper and pencil. Most students work with pencils, colored pencils, watercolors, and acrylic paints on paper or canvas.
$10-15 per session suggested donation for individuals requested, but not required. Free introductory classes available. Group/Community rates available. Please fill in the form below so we can contact you with more details and get you signed up!
