Welcome to the Huntsville Museum of Art - Museum Academy Schedule of Master Artist Workshops and Classes for Adults, Children and Teens. The Museum Academy has offered creative and engaging hands-on art classes for over 40 years. The Academy's programs are held in two classrooms on the Plaza Level in the Museum overlooking Big Spring Park. Our schedule includes classes for preschoolers through adults. The Academy offers workshops and classes in a variety of media year round. Find something to suit your interests whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist.

Classes are taught by experienced instructors and teaching artists who use the Museum - working in the studios to the galleries - as an expanded classroom. View Instructors' Bios
