The Paramount Visual Arts Center (VAC) offers a creative environment for the community to interface with the visual arts. As a community resource, we nurture a love of the arts, welcoming the beginning student through experienced artist in our newly renovated studio for hands-on arts education. We have a great selection of art classes and newly updated studios available to community members at all experience levels.

Open Studio & Teen Night

Meets every Thursday from 6-9pm and is a great way to experiment with a variety of mediums. We have mentors in our ceramics, handbuilding, painting & drawing and fused glass studios to offer hints and tips on your area of interest.

Fused Glass artists are asked to pay $1.00 per pendant they make to help offset the glass expenses. No registration required. Adults (20+) $10.00 Youth (19 and under) $5.00
