Join Audain Artistic Director Patrick O'Neill to learn more about the Art & Design Foundation Program!

The Foundation Program is a yearlong, twice weekly program that’s composed of one yearlong “core” discipline in combination with a rotation of inspiring “explore” classes. This structure is designed to establish solid technical and conceptual roots while exposing them to the exciting breadth of the visual and contemporary arts. They will develop essential skills of self-expression, empathy and creative agency to become well-rounded and confident human beings.

All age groups will benefit from expanded learning opportunities that are unique to the Foundation Program including formal exhibitions, celebratory receptions, and optional field trips.
