Instituto Allende :: Art Workshop Schedules

ART WORKSHOPS

Art workshops are open to the general public with few or no requirements to fulfill. Students attend during any of the avilable schedules and for as long as they deem convenient. Instituto Allende offers two kinds of workshops: ongoing and seasonal. Ongoing workshops are offered year-round; seasonal workshops are offered on specific dates or for a limited amount of time. Sometimes, these require that students attend a minimum number of sessions.
Although art workshops may be attended on a one-day-a-week basis, whenever a true learning experience is desired, it is suggested that students attend regularly over a period of time.
