In the upcoming spring season, the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is set to unveil an array of creative programs at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Those interested can now enroll in these enriching activities designed to inspire and educate participants.

A highlight of the offerings is a watercolor course titled "Exploring Watercolors," facilitated by renowned artist Robin Berry. This program will occur every Wednesday morning from early April through the end of the month. Participants will delve into the vibrant world of watercolor painting, learning about its unique effects and experimenting with different tools and methods tailored for beginners. Spanning four weeks, this class welcomes both adults and older teenagers (ages 16+) who attend with an adult companion, all for a fee that includes necessary supplies.

Creative pursuits not only enhance artistic skills but also foster personal growth and community engagement. By participating in such workshops, individuals can connect with like-minded enthusiasts while developing their talents. These initiatives underscore the importance of accessible art education in nurturing creativity and building stronger cultural connections within local communities.
