The Walk In Art Center is excited to open its new Art Education Center! As the organization expands its offerings to families and budding artists in the area, the need for more instructional spaces has become apparent. Expansion began with the construction of the Gallery Classroom, used primarily for fiber arts when the growth of their pottery group exploded during the pandemic. Now with both the growth of Evans Delivery and the Walk In Art Center, it became necessary to renovate another part of the old Walk In Shoe Factory. Mr. Bert Evans allowed the renovation of what was a primitive storage area into a state-of-the-art classroom. This new space allows for a dedicated pottery and clay area and another space large enough to hold two classes at one time. The Walk In has a full schedule of classes in place for the fall and looks forward to seeing families and people of all ages in the years to come. 

Renovation of the storage space has also allowed the Walk In to move its Frame Shop to the first floor with its own entrance for the public. Now those looking to have items framed can talk directly with the framer in a combination reception/work area. 

These changes hint of more things to come! The Main Entrance to the Walk In Art Center will soon be changed so that people who park in the lot will then enter the campus through the “tunnel” where they can choose to enter the Main Lobby of the WIAC, the Art Education Center or the Frame Shop. In the next year, they hope to add a pavilion in this inner courtyard for outdoor concerts and performances and really make it a magical place. 

This is a free community event! Kids of all ages are welcome to attend! Please register at the link or call 570-622-1942.
