Everyone belongs at the Big Yellow House and we have creative offerings for all levels and abilities. Are you creative curious and just want to try a new, low-pressure activity or meet new people? Our monthly workshops would be a great place to start! And if there’s something you’d like to see at Follow Your Art, we’re always open to your ideas!
The community at FYACS is what keeps people coming back. Many people come to learn a skill, and leave with new connections. A membership not only provides access to free creative programming, but also supports the creative vitality of our greater community through more teaching opportunities for artists and a broader variety of shared creative experiences. The more members we have, the more we can do!
Now that Follow Your Art Community Studios owns its own space, we are looking for ways to be more intentional and sustainable in the programming we offer. The old membership model wasn’t helping FYACS or our creative community grow, and we are now in a position to change that!
Members may receive discounts on select multi-week programs. These will be communicated in the monthly member newsletter. Please check out the many free opportunities for members as well!
