The visual arts opportunities at the Center include exhibits, classes, and demonstrations. Topics for classes include drawing painting, printmaking, pottery, glass fusing, and others. These events typically take place in the historic classroom building where needed equipment stays available year-round. An off-site exhibit, Art on the Walls at the Clark Fork Valley Hospital, offers a glimpse of the talents of local artists.
