The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey announces its studio art classes and workshops for the spring 2013 semester beginning April 8, 2013. Register today for day, evening and weekend classes. This spring over 120 classes and 50 workshops, including 30 new courses, will be available for kids, teens and adults.


Contemporary artist, Julie Peppito, will lead a new Master Workshop: Illustrating Imaginative Worlds Through Portraiture in conjunction with Spring Exhibition, Frohawk Two Feathers: You Can Fall, for those interested in creating imaginative portraits with mixed media.
