Arts Education

VCA’s Arts Education program was founded with the belief that art has the power to ignite creativity, build confidence, foster connections and change lives. The Blue Heron Education Center—our dedicated space for classes, art experiences and curated shows—is home to a rotating catalog of classes in drawing, painting, theatre, photography, ceramics, creative writing, music, movement and more. Vashon’s talented artists are our community’s richest resource. We partner with 45-50 local artists to offer over 90 classes and camps per year to students of all ages and abilities.

Summer is coming–and we are more than ready for it at Vashon Center for the Arts. And you can breathe a little sigh of relief, too, when you reserve your student’s spot. All of our summer camps are open for “risk-free registration at this time.” That means you don’t pay for camps until you know they’ll run . . . conditions permitting, COVID-19 safe-to-play! VCA Registrar will contact you with invoice once camp is confirmed to run. Several of our teachers are working on alternate lesson plans and pricing in case the camps must go online!  Tuition and times subject to change.

**VCA couldn’t do it without all our volunteers and donors who contribute in so many ways including our SCHOLARSHIP fund!! Thank you!! We have scholarships available for all applicants, making art and dance accessible to all! For more info, click the link below:
