Our Teaching Philosophy
Our curriculum is rooted in fine art principles while encouraging creativity, experimentation, and personal expression. Every lesson incorporates age-appropriate artistic concepts—such as the elements and principles of art—giving students the skills and confidence to create work that is uniquely their own.
Through thoughtful guidance, artists learn techniques, solve creative challenges, and discover the joy of making something they never imagined possible.
Our Story
Founded in 1997 by community members who believed art should be accessible to everyone, Brickton has grown from a small community program into an independent nonprofit art center serving thousands of artists each year. While we've grown over the years, our mission has remained the same: to inspire creativity, nurture artistic growth, and make meaningful art experiences accessible to our community.
Creativity In Our Community
At Brickton, creativity extends beyond our classroom walls. Through meaningful partnerships, outreach programs, and community events, we bring art experiences to people of all ages and abilities. We're proud to collaborate with organizations that share our belief in the power of art to connect, inspire, and enrich our community.
