2023 Warren Art Academy

Now in its sixth year, the Warren Art Academy is a series of free art classes and a showcase for youth in the East Bay and greater Rhode Island. Students are immersed in learning the basics of various art forms taught by a certified art education professional or a practicing professional. This year’s academy will feature classes in comics, print-making and digital storytelling.

"I'm looking forward to teaching Let's Make Comics again this year! Comics are a fun and natural story-telling medium,"MJ Robinson, one of the academy's teachers said. "Plus, you don't have to be 'good at drawing' to draw great comics. To me, being an arts educator means helping people become more confident and curious explorers. There are infinite textures of amazingness to find within ourselves, within our worlds, and in the fictional spaces we create."

Over the years, the art academy has served hundreds of youth, teaching not only art skills but also working to develop an appreciation of the arts.
