Many of our Studio art classes visit the Gallery during the session and artworks in the exhibitions become sources of inspiration when creating art in class. Techniques and ideas used by the exhibiting artists are also learned in some classes.

“The field trip was awesome and everyone loved it! Your teachers were incredible. The gallery tour and the print making lesson was fantastic. Everybody left feeling super inspired.”

Sean Anderson, Patagonia, Inc.

Fie ld triP, inc .Creative team building art experiences

Remember school field trips? The best day ever, right? What about your last corporate team building seminar? If high-priced consultants armed with PowerPoints and trust-fall exercises put your staff to sleep, wake them up with a creative, inspired, and shared experience. It’s time to take the team on field trip.

First, our highly-trained Armory Teaching Artists tour your people through our current exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary art in our historic main gallery. Then, segue over to our spacious studio, where the same Teaching Artists lead your team through a hands-on artmaking lesson with lots of room for personal expression.

3-hour packages start at $1,000 for up to 15 participants (all materials included).

sponsor a school

For an additional $500, your company can sponsor an Armory Field Trip for a needy or neighborhood school of your choice (up to 40 children). Giving back is good for staff morale and it’s good for business — consumers like companies that support their community, and it’s good PR, too.

b u i l d - a - c l a S S !

Do you have a group of friends that you’d like to take a class with at the Armory? All we need to know is who, what and when! With a minimum of 7 students, the Armory will schedule a class of your choosing at a time that’s convenient for you! (There are some time and faculty restrictions because of classes already scheduled or a teacher’s conflicting schedule, but we’ll try to figure this out.) This can be a class for any age group from preschool to adults!

For no extra fee, we’ll assign an artist/teacher to provide the instruction and expertise you need to learn the artistic endeavor of your choice. Choose any subject in this catalogue or suggest something we don’t already offer and we’ll try to make it happen.

Call the Studio Assistant at 626.792.5101 x121 or email [email protected] to set up your class today. Please submit your build-a-class request in writing, at least 4 weeks prior to the beginning of the session.

Now, in the privacy of your home, you can too.
