I like the Palo Alto Art Center. There are a variety of art projects and studios. Its a good place to learn and be creative.
MoreWe've seen some amazing exhibits at the Art Center and we've enjoyed the Sculpture Garden, particularly the Whiplash maze that delights young children. They offer a variety of classes and the work posted on the gallery walls is inspiring.
MoreThe small Palo Alto Art Center is a community gem. They offer an array of classes for all ages, plus special one-time classes, open houses, etc. Their gallery, with a changing collection, is worth visiting. So, if visiting in the area, it is worthwhile to check their calendar and see what might be 'on' while your there.
Morethnks to new leadership, in the past few years the art center has expanded and experimented. their exhibits are more unusual and attractive. worth a trip any time.
MoreThis is a friendly and welcoming place where you can visit small art exhibits or openings, take adult or child art classes from talented artists/teachers (water color, acrylic painting, journaling, drawing, etc. through the city's Enjoy catalogue, make use of a substantial pottery studio, and there is decent parking. The room space just feels nice too - they update the wall displays in the hallways and it has a community feel. There is a cute, little gift shop that sells some local art items. Not overly expensive.
