Welcome to our site!

The Phoenix Art Workshop is a privately run visual arts centre with art classes for young people and adults emphasizing visual literacy, design, individual creativity and interests. Our focus is largely centered on painting and drawing mediums although you may be interested in having a look at our Community Art page to get a feel for what we are really about. A community based resource for art supplies, custom framing, and education.
Come on in for a visit !

 

Starting this September all our classes will be held at this new location allowing us to expand our art supply inventory and improve productivity in our busy frame shop!
